Our contacts are:
Letizia Modeo, email: letizia.modeo@unipi.it
Giulio Petroni, email: giulio.petroni@unipi.it
Please consider that probably one candidate will be selected to work mainly in Integrative Systematics while the other mainly in Metagenomics.
Please also note that scholars who already get a PhD outside Italy or students who will defend their diploma/master within 31/10/2017 are as well eligible for the application.
