General information
The PhD course is jointly offered by the Universities of Trieste and Udine. It covers a wide range of scientific issues related to environmental life researches ongoing at the two universities, whose main focuses are:
- Ecology and ecophysiology of marine, fresh water, terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems;
- Global change biology and management of natural and agricultural ecosystems;
- Biodiversity informatics, genetics and conservation;
- Ecotoxicology and bioremediation.
The possible field works for the PhD students span over a large array of ecosysems from the deep sea in Antarctica to high mountains passing through plains and rivers. PhD students will find a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment that will promote both basic (e.g. marine protistan metagenomics, plant/environment interactions) and applied research (e.g. green technologies, ecological engineering and environmental biomonitoring).
