Admission Requirements

Italian University degree (old regulation, at least 4 yrs courses) or a specialist degree/master (new regulation 3+2 yrs courses) or with a foreign certifiably equivalent academic qualification.
In case the academic qualification has not been certified equivalent yet, candidates must request a certification of suitability from the Doctorate Academic Board by attaching the appropriate documents
(qualification type, name and duration, study programme specifying each single educational activity including a list of courses taken and their grades). These documents, translated and legalised, must be sent together with the application form.

Candidates must draft their admission separately for each competition in either Italian or English according to the facsimile accompanying this notice. It is also possible to participate for those regularly attending the last year of a degree course (Italian University degree old regulation or specialist degree/master or foreign certifiably equivalent academic qualification) and that are certain to obtain the diploma within the 31st December 2009. In the latter case admission will be conditioned by the production of the degree diploma before the 10th January 2010, otherwise candidates will lose the right to attend the course.

In any case, the selection Committees will take into account only the qualifications sent by candidates within the deadline of this call for admission.

Application Form

Candidates must fill in the application form available at the website www.unict.it and complete the form with all requested information, following the on-line procedure, not later than the 23rd November 2009.

PhD Studentship in Optimising Pharmaceutical Flows For Better Drug Delivery - Loughborough University

PhD Research Studentship
Optimising Pharmaceutical Flows For Better Drug Delivery
Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering


3-year duration. Stipend £11,500 pa (UK/EU), £8,000 pa (non-UK/EU). Tuition fees paid in full. Applications from overseas candidates welcomed.

Understanding the behaviour of airborne particulates is a must for any manufacturer designing systems for the handling and delivery of pharmaceutical powders. The drug component must be controlled, the particles are often difficult to handle and cohesive. Furthermore, the interaction between the gas and the particles is complex. We propose to consider this problem by combining a fundamental understanding of particulate and multiphase flows with state-of-the-art multiphysics computational techniques and experimental systems to produce novel designs for pharmaceutical delivery. A successful member of our group can expect to be a part of a team of experts that works within a framework of international collaboration (UK, USA, India, Israel, France).

Applications are invited for a PhD position expected to commence October 2009.

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr. Ricky Wildman, email r.d.wildman@lboro.ac.uk r.d.wildman@lboro.ac.uk or Mr. Henk Versteeg h.k.versteeg@lboro.ac.uk h.k.versteeg@lboro.ac.uk , School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leics LE11 3TU, UK, Telephone 01509 227630.
