The Department of Experimental Plant Biology at the Faculty of Science, Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic), one of Europe’s oldest and most distinguished universities, invites applications for a postdoctoral position within the frame of one or both of the following Research Groups:
We are seeking a motivated early-career scientist who will advance research on plant development in the context of environmental factors, foster innovation, and engage actively in a collaborative academic environment. The successful candidate is expected to carry out high-quality, internationally competitive research, making effective use of the department’s and faculty’s core facilities.
The ideal candidate will have a solid publication record relative to career stage and a strong conceptual understanding of morphogenesis in the context of environmental factors.
The successful candidate will join an established and supportive research team, with the opportunity to progressively develop their own research ideas and scientific independence.
The position offers:
- A supportive and collaborative research environment
- Opportunities to develop and shape your own research direction
- Access to modern infrastructure and core facilities
- Guidance and mentoring in applying for external funding
- Opportunities to contribute to student supervision and mentoring
- The opportunity for long-term involvement in the research group
While the position encourages increasing independence, the candidate will benefit from close interaction with experienced researchers and a mentoring environment.
The contract is renewable and provides an excellent opportunity to build a competitive academic profile and prepare for future career steps, including an independent research position.
Informal inquiries and consultation with the relevant group leader(s) before application are encouraged.
Applications will be evaluated by a departmental committee, and shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview (in person or online).
The successful candidate should:
- Hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in plant biology
- Demonstrate enthusiasm, curiosity, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
- Actively seek out external research funding
- Have experience relevant to plant morphogenesis or a related area
- Show willingness to develop new skills and research directions
Previous postdoctoral experience is not required, but highly experienced candidates with a clear interest in developing their own research profile are encouraged to apply.
Required documents:
- A Curriculum Vitae
- A complete list of publications
- Attachment 1: a track record of research funding, specifying grants obtained as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator (if aplicable)
- Attachment 2: a brief research proposal (maximum 3 pages including references) with a focus compatible with the research of the above-mentioned groups
