▾ Pravidla výběrového řízení (OTM-R)
Biologické centrum AV ČR, v. v. i. se zavázalo k dodržování Evropské charty výzkumných pracovníků a Kodexu chování pro přijímání výzkumných pracovníků a je držitelem prestižního ocenění HR Excellence in Research (HR Award). Při náboru vědeckých pracovníků dodržuje zásady otevřeného, transparentního výběrového řízení (OTM-R), což zajišťuje unifikovaný postup výběrového řízení na všech vědeckých ústavech Biologického centra.

Základními principy OTM-R jsou otevřenost, transparentnost a nediskriminace. Požadavky na uchazeče se liší v závislosti na povaze pracovní náplně a jsou vždy specifikovány v relevantním inzerátu s pracovní nabídkou. Inzeráty jsou zveřejňovány na těchto stránkách a na dalších specializovaných portálech. Výběrová řízení na vědecké pozice v Biologickém centru jsou dvoukolová (1. kolo: přihlášky a následný výběr vhodných kandidátů do 2. kola, 2. kolo: pohovory). Pro každé výběrové řízení je ustavena výběrová komise, která je minimálně tříčlenná, zahrnuje zástupce Personálního úseku a je genderově vyvážená. Všichni uchazeči jsou informováni o výsledku výběrového řízení a každé výběrové řízení se řídí platným nařízením EU o ochraně osobních údajů.

Popis pracovní pozice:

Seventeen PhD positions are available in the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Training Network “INCITE– Insect Clock Initial Training Experience” in countries such as Czech Republic, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Poland, Israel, United Kingdom.

Our network researches insect chronobiology with the aim of developing applications in insect production for feed and food, pest control, as well as basic research. We investigate the circadian and annual clocks, diapause, seasonality, sleep, endocrinology, circadian physiology and chrono-metabolism using  combinations of established insect model species (i.e. Drosophila melanogaster) and emerging models, pest species, and economically important or beneficial insect (aphids, linden bugs, bumble bees, moths and butterflies, black soldier fly, houseflies, cockroaches).

 INCITE will provide advanced multidisciplinary multi-level scientific training that spans from molecular genetics tools, genetic engineering, genomics and transcriptomics, immunocytochemistry and electrophysiology to behavioural assays to foster the next generation of European experts in an ambitious and multidisciplinary research environment in chronobiology and entomology.

Jak se přihlásit:

Our selection procedure is open, transparent, merit-based and in line with the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. 
Candidates should submit the following documents as one single PDF file via the REPLY button below by 15 October 2024 23:59 CET for one to maximum five positions and indicate their preference:

  • a detailed CV 
  • a motivation letter 
  • two letters of reference 
  • English transcripts of bachelor and, if applicable, master degrees 
  • an English language certificate.
  • no more than 12 months of residence in the host country in the last 3 years

 Alternatively, you can send requested documents to incite@entu.cas.cz.

The candidates will be selected to fit the best for the different projects through the following steps: 

  • Eligibility check: our recruitment committee will check that each application is complete and that applicants fulfil the MCSA eligibility criteria. 
  • Remote Evaluation: each eligible application will be assessed independently by the principal investigators of the network, according to the project interests indicated by the applicants. Up to four candidates per position will reach the following stage.
  • Online interviews: short-listed candidates will be invited for an online interview. Short-listed candidates will be interviewed by their putative supervisor (i.e. the supervisor responsible for the research project of interest), two additional supervisors from the network, and a member of the recruitment committee. Candidates who have been positively evaluated but not initially invited for interviews will be put on a reserve list.
  • Notification of the selection outcomes: our recruitment committee will notify short-listed candidates of the outcome, and those selected will be put in touch with the corresponding principal investigator and the Human Resources Department of the hosting institution to initiate the hiring procedure. Selected candidates then need to apply to individual PhD programs at host institutes. Applicants who have not been successful but who have received a positive evaluation will be put on a waiting list to cover possible withdrawals and future positions. 

Recruitment Calendar:

  • Call opening: September 2024 
  • Interviews: September – November 2024
