\ Alta Tecnologia \ Master in Data Management and Curation: training opportunities in Area Science Park for two STEM graduates

Open Science methodologies, FAIR-by-design data management and data FAIR-ification, use of tools and software for metadata acquisition and enrichment and tools and methods for preliminary analysis of data and metadata; these are the main skills that the participants of the Master Data Management and Curation (MDMC)  will acquire at the end of the course organized by Area Science Park, the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati – SISSA and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Istituto Officina dei Materiali (CNR-IOM), as part of the activities of supporting projects NFFA-DI and PRP@CERIC,  funded by the PNRR* to enhance digital research infrastructures  in materials science and life science.

This is a first pilot edition of an advanced course dedicated to young researchers interested in developing skills on FAIR data management in research infrastructures. The course, which lasts about a year, is structured in two parts: the first dedicated to in-presence lessons (six weeks, September – October 2024) and the second with experimental training to be carried out at the Area Science Park laboratories (seven months – from November 2024 to May 2025). 

Area Science Park promotes participation in the Master through an expression of interest published on the institutional website (link: Call Master Data Mangement and Curation) to identify two students who will receive a flat-rate reimbursement of 15,000 euros to cover the participation costs.

The requirements to apply are:

1) to have at least a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in scientific topics, engineering,  computer science or related or equivalent subjects; 

2) to be unemployed;

3) to know the English language.

Deadline: May 31, 2024.
