Task Force on Microbiome Studies (TFM)

CRESCENDO is a Transdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Microbiome Science co-funded by the EU (Call  H2020-MSCA-COFUND-2020) and managed by the University of Naples Federico II through its recently established Task Force on Microbiome Studies (www.tfm.unina.it), that combines facilities and experience of more than 150 Academic scientists from 14 different UNINA Departments in the areas of Biology, Medicine, Food and Agricultural Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Engineering and Social Sciences, thus representing an ideal transdisciplinary environment to support training and research for young researchers in the microbiome field. CRESCENDO Doctoral Programme will recruit 10 international Early Stage Researchers (ESRs-PhDs) who will be involved in research and training in the Microbiome field, leading to a worldwide appreciated PhD degree valuable in terms of their future career perspectives. CRESCENDO represents the only EU funded project for a doctoral programme in Microbiome Science, developing trans-disciplinary Microbiome scientists with intersectoral and international experience and with a multidisciplinary scientific and technical background.

Objectives

CRESCENDO aims to select a total of 10 international Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs; PhD candidates) to be enrolled by UNINA/TFM in a doctoral course of study lasting 36 months (3 years) leading to the awarding of a doctoral degree.

Duration

The project started on the 1st of February 2022 and will last 60 months. A Call for Applications to recruit 10 international PhDs/ESRs will be launched the 4th of April 2022 with deadline the 30/06/2022 of June 2022 (5 pm CET).

PhDs

The recruited PhDs will conduct specific research and training projects involving microbiome studies on human, animal, soil, plant, food, environment and marine systems.

Fellowships

Partner  Organisations

The Programme will benefit of the participation of 23 Partner Organizations (POs) including leading international companies that are stakeholders of the microbiome research.

Training Opportunities

CRESCENDO core microbiome courses for all participating ESRs are detailed here.

“A rich and diversified range of research and training opportunities will be offered to broaden the cross-sectoral, international and interdisciplinary skills of the recruited PhDs and provide a common ground for their future careers and for new research paths with important implications for Microbiome science”
