PostDocs and PhDs - funded via independent funding

We will support motivated candidates in preparation of their research proposal for independent funding. The recommended schemes include Postdoctoral Fellowships - Marie Skłodowska-Curie (particularly good opportunity: increased chance due to Czechia being a widening EU country + Czech government funding unsuccesful applications via the Jan Amos Komensky program), EMBO fellowship, JSPS (for candidates coming from Japan), and Postdoc individual fellowship (by Czech Science Foundation). The candidate will receive support and feedback during the proposal planning and writing.

Bc. and MSc. candidates

We have a long list of projects, project ideas, samples and data. Each of them are only waiting for a young researcher to choose from and develop. The range of methodologies is broad and spans data analysis and coding, experimental work in molecular genetics laboratory, and fieldwork. The broadly defined project topics include:
1) study of termites and termitophilopus rove beetles using bioinformatic analysis phylogenetic and genomic data
2) study of the convergent phenotypic adaptations to termitophily using X-ray imaging methods and comparative morphological analysis
3) biodiversity discovery and monitoring using rove beetles as a model group and employing a combination of meta/mega/barcoding, citizen science and fieldwork.
