CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE A DOCTORAL DEGREE AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE OR FACULTY OF SCIENCE OR FACULTY OF TECHNLOGY IN DRUG RESEARCH DOCTORAL PROGRAMME (DRDP)
1. Drug Research Doctoral Programme (DRDP)
Doctoral candidates of DRDP will perform their doctoral studies in research groups with high scientific standards. Each doctoral researcher focuses on a specific topic relevant for drug development, but the doctoral research training is comprehensive and covers a wide range of different fields in drug research. The training provides a general view of the drug development process, starting from molecular and mechanistic levels and continuing to preclinical and clinical drug research, pharmaceutical development and pharmacoepidemiology. The education will largely be provided within a national network, ensuring that all fields of drug development and drug research, even those not so strong in Turku, will be well covered. Knowledge of the pharmaceutical sciences is strong at the Universities of Helsinki and Eastern Finland, and plays an important role in the national collaboration of doctoral training in drug research.
DRDP Industrial PhD doctorates are joint doctorates between academic and industrial collaborators. The research projects will be collaborations between UTU and the company, and each iPhD doctoral researcher will be jointly supervised by an industry supervisor and an academic supervisor from the UTU. An iPhD doctoral researcher will carry out the research project mostly (min 75 %) in the industrial environment.
