Ph.D. Scholarships
Paragrafo

The Ph.D. programme is the highest degree in the academic system and it provides the necessary competence and skills to conduct high-level research at universities, public institutions or private organizations. It is also useful to pursue a career in the Public Administrations and to work as self-employed professionals.

INRiM is opening Ph.D. positions at Politecnico di Torino.
