Post-Doc Research Fund for Foreign Young Researchers http://tarantula.ruk.cuni.cz/UKENG-233.html ****************************************************************************************** * Post-Doc Research Fund for Foreign Young Researchers* Wishing to Work at Charles Univers ****************************************************************************************** *========================================================================================= * A/ Basic Description and Goal *========================================================================================= As a ‘research university’ CU has an interest in the development of research. It is theref that high-quality post-doctoral researchers from abroad should participate in work at top centres and collaborate here on the intensive development of scientific research and schol of this project is to attract promising post-docs who will research a chosen theme at the of CU. The main initiator is always the relevant department/centre of the faculty/institut interest in the research area/project concerned. The CU Research Board is involved in the process. Fund at CU for Foreign ‘Post-Doc‘ Researchers started on August 1st 2011. *========================================================================================= * B/ Conditions for Realisation *========================================================================================= a) The scientific-research centre/department of the faculty has the prerequisites (space, technical resources etc.) to accept a foreign applicant in the category of research worker relevant research project. b) The university has the financial resources (non-investment) to cover the essential expe conducting the research project and to cover the salary of the applicants. c) The post-doc worker is accepted to work on the research project for a period of two yea d) Stays are planned in three areas (humanities, natural sciences and medical fields). *========================================================================================= * C/ Procedure *========================================================================================= 1. The research centre proposes a viable theme (annotation), falling within its research a tackled by the applicant's project. After being conveyed to the relevant department of the theme is made public in the accessible media (pages of the faculty, CU, foreign portals). this publicization is the proposal of the faculty submitted directly also at the foreign f the home centre has co-operative research ties. 2. After consultation with the research centre proposing the theme, the applicant draws up project and submits it to the faculty by a stated deadline. His/her application includes a publications, a statement from his/her PhD supervisor and a letter of recommendation from department/institute where the applicant studied for his/her doctorate (‘Application for p Charles University in Prague‘ and ‘Letter of Reference‘). 3. The faculty passes the application with project details to the CU Rectorate by a stated Academic communication will proceed with the research centre proposing the theme. 4. The University Committee of five members is appointed by the Rector. This evaluates the a recommendation and determines the order on whether it should be granted funds from the ‘ Fund‘ for the relevant year. The definitive allocation of funds is approved by the Rector. 5. The applicant is informed of the results of the procedure, including the possible date of the stay, and completes the necessary formalities (visa etc.). 6. After the first year of work on the project, the University Committee as determined abo by means of an interview with the post-doc worker – evaluate the results achieved and will continuation of his/her stay for the following year. This interim checking process will in report from the head of the centre (mentor) on the course of progress of the project. The interview is then handed on to the CU Rectorate's International Affairs Office. 7. Towards the end of the two-year period the realisation of the project is evaluated by t Committee (presentation of final conclusions with submission of publications), and the com report on the realisation of the project. The CU Research Board is then informed of the re *========================================================================================= * D/ Schedule *========================================================================================= The applications will be considered twice in the academic year. For the year 2013, there are two deadlines for the applications submissions at the Rectora September 3rd 2012 – Postdoctoral positions are  open at Charles University  from 1st Janu January 2015 - closed March 20th  2013 - Postdoctoral positions are  open at Charles University  from 1st of Jul July 2015 - open The candidates must respect the deadlines given in the proposition of the research centre/ *========================================================================================= * Postdoctoral positions at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic *========================================================================================= General information  see: http://www.cuni.cz/UKENG-233.html [ URL "http://www.cuni.cz/UKEN From : 1st of July 2013   Until : 1st of July 2015 *========================================================================================= * Faculty of Social Sciences *========================================================================================= Title: The Politics of Public Memory in the United States: An Interdisciplinary Research a Project Contact person: Lukáš Martin, M.A. Head of the Department Email: svoz@fsv.cuni.cz [ URL "mailto:svoz@fsv.cuni.cz"] Tel.: +420 222 112 128 International Relations Office Faculty of Social Sciences Charles University in Prague Smetanovo nábř. 995/6 110 01 Prague 1, CZ *========================================================================================= * Faculty of Science *========================================================================================= Title: Development of catalytic enantioselective reactions Annotation: The main theme of the project is development of new catalytic systems for enan additions of various nucleophiles or electrophiles to the carbonyl group of aromatic and a unsaturated aldehydes with Lewis bases or acids possessing chiral bipyridine scaffold. The allylations and aldol reactions providing chiral homoallyl alcohols and aldols. Since the the project will be also synthesis of natural compounds or their derivatives with interest properties, it is planned that the prepared compounds will be used as crucial chiral build their syntheses. As far as representatives of potential synthetic targets are concerned, c papulacandine, dolikulide, etc. could be considered.

Objectives of the projects carry out field structural investigations in the Chinese and Mongolian Altai, 2) to analyz rock geochemical and U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic ratios in zircons separated from representati To elucidate the provenance, deposition environment  of these metasedimentary rocks based geochemical data and 4) to constrain the evolutionary history of the Chinese and Mongolian the results of this study. The aims of the projects are to correlate the tectonic, geochro thermal evolution by providing link between deformation, metamorphism and magmatism. This approach will provide critical information allowing correlation of  evolution of Chinese A Mongolian Altai. Contact person:   Mgr.
