Computer Science and Engineering
The doctoral program aims at preparing researchers and professionals with a wide knowledge about the foundations of informatics and about its applications to a variety of systems and disciplines, focusing on aspects of particular importance in the present context. The new version of informatics is changing the perspective of other disciplines and several aspects of common life, and is the target of very active research in the international scene.
Economics, Markets, Institutions
The program aims at dealing with issues in political economy, applied public economics, the functioning of industries and markets, the impact of macroeconomics on productivity and growth. A distinctive feature of the Ph.D. program is the integration of theoretical, technical, and practical expertise, aimed to educate highly qualified professionals, who analyze, plan, and manage concrete interventions of political economy. Theoretical methodologies and models are generated and tested, through the systematic investigation of the real world, with a distinctive focus on concrete observation of markets and their actors. At the end of the program, students are able to identify commonalities as well as distinctive characters of economies, markets, and industries.
Management and Development of Cultural Heritage Ph.D. in cooperation with Politecnico di Torino
The program trains both researchers and professionals, able to operate at the highest levels of management of Cultural Heritage and Landscape, in both public and private institutions. The program integrates concepts and methods from several domains (humanities, economics, law, information technologies, material sciences) in the analysis of cultural heritage and landscape. The program provides a consistent multidisciplinary path where students are provided with competencies which nowadays cannot be obtained but through particular self-training initiatives. The job market today has to rely on various professional figures - thus incurring conflicts and standstills in the decision-making process - or is forced to choose only one competence among all the needed ones. A distinctive feature of the program is the involvement of Ph.D. students in projects, both on local and international scale, so as to make them familiar with the complex management of cultural heritage and landscape.
Political Systems and Institutional Change
The Ph.D. in Political Systems and Institutional Change is a multidisciplinary course analysing, in a comparative perspective, institutions in their historical, political, sociological, economic and legal features. Special attention will be devoted to processes of institutional change. The Ph.D. aims at forming political analysts able to: plan and manage collaborative and integrated processes at the international level; analyse and assess policies and institutional settings at a supranational, national and regional level; confront the specific problems of countries in transition towards democracy and a market economy.
Duration: 3 years
Language: Courses and seminars are held in English. Foreign Ph.D. students are required to attend an Italian Language and Culture Course.

PhD Studentship in Health Psychology at University of Plymouth CLOSING DATE: 12 NOON, WEDNESDAY 21 MARCH 2007
PhD Studentship Health Psychology In Practice Peninsula Medical School.
The Peninsula Medical School is a joint initiative between the Universities of Plymouth and Exeter and the NHS. This is a University of Plymouth appointment.
The Peninsula Postgraduate Health Institute works with the NHS, the Peninsula Medical School and the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth to offer an exciting range of PhD programmes. On successful completion the candidate receives a joint award from the University of Exeter and the University of Plymouth. Health Psychology in Practice: Understanding behavioural intervention processes for improving patient self-care in chronic illness.
As part of our commitment to research excellence, applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates for a full-time PhD studentship in the Peninsula Medical School’s Institute of Health and Social Care Research, working in the Institute’s Primary Care Research Group. The studentship will cover a tax-exempt stipend of £12,300 per annum and tuition fees at the home rate for a 3-year period. Candidates from countries outside the European Union will be liable for the difference between ‘home student fees’ and ‘foreign student fees’.
This project aims to improve our understanding of the psychological processes which are important in behavioural interventions for improving patient self-care of chronic illnesses. The consequences of poor self-care in people with chronic illnesses (e.g. medication use, lifestyle) are a major source of NHS cost and developing NHS systems to improve the support of patient self-care is central to current government policy. At the same time, the science of self-care intervention development and evaluation is a rapidly developing area in behavioural medicine, but one which still needs strengthening with empirical evidence and methodological development (Hardeman W et al. Health Educ Res 2005;20:676-87. Michie S et al. Quality and Safety in Health Care 2005;14:26-33). The proposed studentship will be conducted initially in the context of the piloting and trial evaluation of an intervention for promoting better asthma self-care. This is part of an ongoing programme of work developed by Dr Colin Greaves. The studentship will focus initially on addressing the following objectives:
Identifying suitable process measures to assess the inter-relationship between variables in a theoretical model of self-care behaviour modification in an asthma self-care intervention. Piloting the process measures framework alongside the intervention pilot (or in a separate study). Conducting qualitative research to elicit patient and practitioner experiences of using the intervention and to gain further insights into the processes involved. Applying the process measures framework and qualitative feedback in the planning of larger studies, including a randomised controlled trial evaluation of the asthma self-care intervention. The post will allow the student to develop a range of qualitative and quantitative research skills in a growth area of behavioural science and to gain experience in an applied research setting. This would be particularly relevant for candidates considering a career in behavioural science /behavioural medicine research. The student will be based in the Primary Care Research Group. Supervision will be provided jointly by Dr Colin Greaves (Health Psychologist and Senior Research Fellow) and Professor John Campbell (Professor of Primary Care and General Practice) and the work will be supported by the PMS Clinical Trials Methodology Unit. Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr Colin Greaves (01392 262751, 0798 9895165 Colin.Greaves@pms.ac.uk).
Students should hold, or expect to obtain, a minimum of an upper-second class degree in a relevant health related subject. Relevant disciplines include psychology, health psychology /behavioural medicine.
For an application form, please contact:
