Junior groups at IOCB Prague
New Group Leaders are selected in cooperation with the International Advisory Board in an open competition.
The new group is provided with a starting package, fixed salary resources, and equipped laboratory space and services.
Each junior group undergoes a complex evaluation by the International Advisory Board after 5 years, with an interim evaluation after 3 years. For promotion to Senior Group Leader, a successful Junior Group Leader needs to demonstrate that he or she has built an internationally visible research group, published independent research in respected journals, and secured funding from national and international grant agencies (e.g. the European Research Council).
The Institute offers:
the possibility to build a research group of up to five coworkers and begin one's own scientific career;
help in submission of grant applications, which if successful may further enhance the size and scope of the research group;
a fully equipped laboratory;
a generous starting financial package;
competitive salaries for the leader and coworkers;
support from institutional services and administration.
The Institute requires:
a completed education at the PhD level;
a minimum of 2 years of postdoctoral experience;
the ability to lead a research team;
a research program complementing and enhancing the scientific focus and strength of the institute (visit www.iocb.cz).
The institute prefers candidates who are less than 7 years from their PhD defense and eligible for European and national starting grants. Independent research projects that can expand into inhouse collaborations with existing IOCB groups are encouraged.
Applications must be submitted by August 4, 2019
Interviews on September 20-21, 2019
Expected start from January 2020
Send your application in English along with CV, your proposal for an independent 5-year research program (max. 5 pages), and a full list of your publications, including the number of citations according to WoS, in electronic form to uochb@uochb.cas.cz by August 4, 2019.
