Filipe Alves - Doctorate degree in Biological Sciences in 2014

1. What has been your career path after completing the course?

I was invited to manage a nature conservation project, for wo years, under the reponsibility of the regional entitity which manages the protected natural areas in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. Following this, I have been working under a post-doctorate scholarship provided by ARDITI (Regional Agency for the Development of Research, Technology and Innovation) doing research in the area of marine ecology.

2. Which aspects of your academic training were relevant to your profession?

They were essential because without the doctorate I would not have had access to the opportunities which came along.

3. Who would you recommend your course to?

To students who are certain of what they want to do in the future.

4. Why the University of Madeira?

In my case, because I was already working in Madeira, it was the ideal opportunity to conciliate work with studies.

I have been working under a postdoctoral scholarship by ARDITI, performing duties at CIIMAR-Madeira since 2015.
