Ph.D. PROGRAMME IN CHEMISTRY
The Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology holds a four-year Ph.D. degree programme for graduates
of chemical, physical and biological departments of universities, for graduates of medical universities
and to engineers in chemical technology and material science.
The main areas of the programme are:
• radiation chemistry and biochemistry,
• chemistry of radioelements,
• isotopic effects,
• radiopharmaceutical chemistry,
• analytical methods,
• chemistry of radicals,
• application of nuclear methods in chemical and environmental research, material science and protection
of historical heritage.
The candidates accepted for the mentioned programme can be employed in the Institute. The candidates
can apply for a doctorial scholarship. The INCT offers accommodation in 10 rooms in the
guesthouse for Ph.D. students not living in Warsaw.
During the four-year Ph.D. programme the students participate in lectures given by senior staff from
the INCT, Warsaw University and the Polish Academy of Sciences. In the second year, the Ph.D. students
have teaching practice in the Chemistry Department of Warsaw University. Each year the Ph.D. students
are obliged to deliver a lecture on topic of his/her dissertation at a seminar. The final requirements for the
Ph.D. programme graduates, consistent with the regulation of the Ministry of Education and Science,
are:
• submission of a formal dissertation, summarizing original research contributions suitable for publication;
• final examination and public defense of the dissertation thesis.
In 2005, the following lecture series were organized:
• “Radiobiology” – Assoc. Prof. Andrzej Wójcik, Ph.D., D.Sc. (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and
Technology);
• “Chemometrics” – Prof. Piotr Urbański, Ph.D., D.Sc. (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology);
• “Nuclear chemistry” – Assoc. Prof. Aleksander Bilewicz, Ph.D., D.Sc. (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry
and Technology);
• “Coordination chemistry” – Prof. Jerzy Narbutt, Ph.D., D.Sc. (Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and
Technology).
The qualification interview for the Ph.D. programme takes place in the mid of October. Detailed
