Applications are now being accepted for the 2015/16 PhD program at the IMT
Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca (www.imtlucca.it). Highly motivated
candidates are invited to apply for one of the *35 fully-funded
scholarships* within a doctoral program that integrates scientific
competences of economics, engineering, computer science, physics, applied
mathematics, statistics, history and sciences of cultural heritage.

The three-year program is articulated in *3 field-specific curricula *which,
in many instances, share a common scientific background. IMT Lucca PhD
students will focus their academic experiences in one of the 10 different
research units. This concentrated approach enables students to gain the
maximum benefit from their time in the program and to effectively prepare
themselves to excel in careers in research and academia in their chosen
field. Candidates can apply for one (or more) of the following curricula:



*- Computer Science and Systems Engineering (CSSE)- Economics, Management
and Data Science (EMDS)- Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage
(AMCH)*

Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with the
necessary theoretical skills and advanced tools for rigorously tackling a
multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad
framework of systems analysis. Specialized faculty and staff create a
network that provides key guidance and support throughout the PhD Program.
Working closely with faculty, both in the classroom and in the development
of research, students reach the highest levels of scholarly achievement. In
fact, IMT's outgoing PhDs will be able to use the skills they obtained
during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems to choose
the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when affronting these
problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research.

*All students are based in the recently restored San Francesco complex, a
fully integrated campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan
city of Lucca. *The campus *includes residential facilities, an on-site
canteen, study and living rooms, and outdoor recreational spaces*; all
serving to add a cultural and social dimension to the professional
experience of our doctoral program. Eligible students will also
receive a *research
scholarship *which amounts to approximately €13,600/year.

Our PhD program attracts students from around the world, providing a truly
international environment. *English is the official language of the
Institute.* Besides, to further enhance the internationality of the
program, all students have the opportunity to *spend periods abroad *at
research institutes or laboratories or universities, both within the
Erasmus+ framework or through ad hoc mobility agreements.
