In addition, they will have the opportunity to participate in teaching and learning activities related to their research areas, such as laboratory sessions for undergraduate students.

The PhD student will also be welcome to participate in the department's faculty research day, where they can present their research and be part of the organising committee. This provides a unique opportunity for the student to showcase their work, network with other researchers, and gain experience in event planning and management.

These opportunities provide the potential for further collaboration with academic staff in research projects for the future. The visiting student could work on ongoing research projects of the department, and their contributions and expertise could be valuable for the department's research outcomes. If the visiting student demonstrates excellence in their work and research, there is also the possibility for them to become a postdoctoral fellow in the department in the future. This would be mutually beneficial for both the department and the visiting student, as it would provide a continued opportunity for collaboration and knowledge sharing. A Master’s degree in chemical engineering. Exposure or experience in laboratory-based projects and use of relevant analytical equipment. The student will engage in laboratory based experimental work currently being undertaken in the department under the guidance of an academic. The outcomes of the appointment will be a technical report and a DHET accredited journal paper at the end of the scholarship or maximum period.

Month 1: Orientation and Training

• Meet with academic staff to discuss research interests and potential projects.
• Receive training on laboratory safety protocols and equipment usage.
• Attend seminars and workshops related to the research area.

Month 2-4: Conducting Practical Experiments

• Work with academic staff to develop and conduct experiments related to the research area.
• Analyse data and communicate results with academic staff for feedback and guidance.

Month 5: Participate in Teaching and Learning Activities

• Assist in teaching undergraduate laboratory sessions related to research areas.
• Attend relevant workshops or seminars to develop teaching skills.

Month 6: Participate in Faculty Research Day

• Prepare and present research findings at the department's faculty research day.
• Collaborate with other researchers and gain experience in event planning and management.
• Compile a manuscript for publication in a suitable journal for DHET accreditation

• Alojamiento: A list of accommodations will be provided by the International Education and Partnerships Office.
• Acompañamiento y actividades sociales: The Chemical Engineering Department Student Awards, an annual event that recognises outstanding academic achievements of students in the department, is also open for participation by the visiting PhD student. Attending this event could potentially earn the visiting student recognition for their research work during their stay at the department. Moreover, the visiting PhD student can share their experiences with other students in the department, especially from an international student's perspective, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. Such interactions provide insight into the challenges and opportunities that come with studying abroad, which aligns with the DUT Envision 2030 statement and the department's values of diversity and inclusivity. The department encourages all students to engage in cross-cultural interactions to broaden their perspectives and enhance their learning experience. Participation in these activities would not only benefit the visiting PhD student's personal and professional development but also contribute to the overall academic and social environment of the department.

• Alojamiento: A list of accommodations will be provided by the International Education and Partnerships Office.
• Acompañamiento y actividades sociales: The department will arrange an inhouse induction. The international office will assist with any orientation required to familiarise the student to DUT and living in Durban.

Como objetivos generales, este proyecto se propone:

• Describir y analizar la configuración que asume el campo de la intervención social, a través de las políticas de asistencia, en el territorio de Misiones durante el periodo 2019-2023.
• Analizar la relación entre las características de la intervención social que se despliegan en el ámbito de la política social de asistencia y la intervención de los trabajadores sociales en tanto especialistas de la intervención sobre lo social.

Los objetivos específicos persiguen:

• Identificar y describir las políticas sociales de asistencia que se instrumentan en la provincia de Misiones.
• Reconocer los actores e instituciones involucrados en la gestión de las políticas sociales, describiendo roles y funciones asumidos.
• Analizar la relación de los actores y las instituciones con los aspectos de las problemáticas sociales abordadas.
• Describir el lugar que en dichas políticas se asigna a los trabajadores sociales, en tanto especialistas de la intervención social.

La HIPÓTESIS DE TRABAJO, es la siguiente:

La configuración que asumen las políticas de asistencia a nivel territorial, al involucrar actores que adscriben a distintos encuadres institucionales, derivan en la fragmentación y dispersión de la intervención social asistencial, implicando desprofesionalización y mayor discrecionalidad en el tratamiento de las manifestaciones de la cuestión social.

• Participar de la planificación y realización de actividades de investigación específicas del proyecto,
• Involucrarse en el desarrollo de núcleos temáticos vinculados al campo de las políticas sociales y la intervención profesional de los trabajadores sociales, a ser desarrollados en el marco del Foro Permanente de Política Social, proyecto de extensión universitaria del cual soy directora y en la cátedra Políticas Sociales de la Carrera de Trabajo Social, en la cual cumplo la función de docente titular.
• Asimismo propongo, coparticipar en el desarrollo de un curso de doctorado en el marco del Doctorado en Ciencias Humanas y Sociales de la FHyCS

Dispongo para el desarrollo de las actividades del estudiante de posgrado, una oficina con conexión a internet.

• Poseer formación relacionada al campo de intervención social y de la política social.
• Presentar una propuesta de trabajo que contemple el desarrollo de alguna de las posibilidades enunciadas en la descripción.

1. Microbial Genomics: The group explores the genomic characteristics and diversity of microorganisms, with a particular interest in their pathogenicity-related factors and the presence of mobile genetic elements;
2. Genome Plasticity: Investigating the plasticity of genomes, the group explores how microorganisms adapt and evolve in response to environmental changes and selective pressures;
3. Applied Bioinformatics: The group utilizes bioinformatics tools and computational approaches to analyze and interpret genomic data, contributing to the development of practical applications in the field of microbiology. The research group has achieved contributions through their publications in important scientific journals. Some of the group's significant contributions include studies on Neisseria meningitidis, Corynebacterium striatum, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and the characterization of invasive strains. These publications shed light on the genetic variation, evolution, and pathogenicity of microorganisms. The group actively participates in several research projects funded by the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) in Chile, among other national and international agencies.

Through their multidisciplinary approach and involvement in diverse research projects, we strive to address pressing challenges and generate insights that have practical applications in agriculture, environment, and human health.
