Overview
GMPF is an international PhD Programme in Fruit Plants Genomics and Molecular Physiology that represents 17 research institutions from 11 different countries . The programme was launched in 2009 and it is based at San Michele all’Adige (TN), Italy. GMPF offers once a year PhD scholarships for high level international research projects and collaborations in fruit biology through a network involving prestigious institutions.
The PhD fellowships are advertised internationally and are awarded following stringent selection procedures . Successful candidates carry out research projects involving at least two of the participating institutions and will have access to state-of-the art facilities in the participating institutions. The outstanding quality of the research organizations involved in the PhD programme will ensure access to top level research formation and training to GMPF fellows.
Students will also have the opportunity to receive specialized summer courses aimed at methodological and technological updating.
About the Fellowships
Fellowships include a salary of 20.000 Euro per year (before taxes), which is provided for 3 years with the possibility to extend it for 1 more year, pending the approval of the Tutor Committee.
