Post-Doc Research Fund for Foreign Young Researchers* Wishing to Work at Charles University in Prague

A/ Basic Description and Goal

As a ‘research university’ CU has an interest in the development of research. It is therefore desirable that high-quality post-doctoral researchers from abroad should participate in work at top CU/faculty centres and collaborate here on the intensive development of scientific research and scholarship. The goal of this project is to attract promising post-docs who will research a chosen theme at the relevant centres of CU. The main initiator is always the relevant department/centre of the faculty/institute which has an interest in the research area/project concerned. The CU Research Board is involved in the management of 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, necessary technical resources etc.) to accept a foreign applicant in the category of research workers for work on the relevant research project.

b) The university has the financial resources (non-investment) to cover the essential expenses for 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 years

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 activities, to be tackled by the applicant's project. After being conveyed to the relevant department of the faculty, this theme is made public in the accessible media (pages of the faculty, CU, foreign portals). One component of this publicization is the proposal of the faculty submitted directly also at the foreign faculty with which the home centre has co-operative research ties.


2. After consultation with the research centre proposing the theme, the applicant draws up a detailed project and submits it to the faculty by a stated deadline. His/her application includes a CV and list of publications, a statement from his/her PhD supervisor and a letter of recommendation from the head of the department/institute where the applicant studied for his/her doctorate (‘Application for post-doc grant at Charles University in Prague‘ and ‘Letter of Reference‘).


3. The faculty passes the application with project details to the CU Rectorate by a stated deadline. 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 project, makes a recommendation and determines the order on whether it should be granted funds from the ‘Post-DocResearch 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 commencement 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 above will – by means of an interview with the post-doc worker – evaluate the results achieved and will confirm the continuation of his/her stay for the following year. This interim checking process will include a written report from the head of the centre (mentor) on the course of progress of the project. The result of 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 the CU University Committee (presentation of final conclusions with submission of publications), and the committee produces a report on the realisation of the project. The CU Research Board is then informed of the result.



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 Rectorate:


September 3rd 2012 – Postdoctoral positions are  open at Charles University  from 1st January 2013 to 1st January 2015 - closed


March 20th  2013 - Postdoctoral positions are  open at Charles University  from 1st of July 2013  to 1st July 2015 - open


The candidates must respect the deadlines given in the proposition of the research centre/institute.

Title: Development of catalytic enantioselective reactions


Annotation: The main theme of the project is development of new catalytic systems for enantioselective additions of various nucleophiles or electrophiles to the carbonyl group of aromatic and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with Lewis bases or acids possessing chiral bipyridine scaffold. The focus will be allylations and aldol reactions providing chiral homoallyl alcohols and aldols. Since the integral part of the project will be also synthesis of natural compounds or their derivatives with interesting biological properties, it is planned that the prepared compounds will be used as crucial chiral building block in their syntheses. As far as representatives of potential synthetic targets are concerned, coibacines, papulacandine, dolikulide, etc. could be considered.

Title:Tectonic significance of the metasedimentary rocks in the Chinese and Mongolian Altai: A field-based geochemical study


The Central Asian Orogenic Belt is the largest accretionary orogenic belt in the world and large amount of juvenile crustal materials added to the region during the long-lasting orogenic processes. Therefore the giant orogenic belt provides the best opportunity for scientists to study the crustal growth history and to understand the complicated mountain building processes. Objectives of the projects are 1) to carry out field structural investigations in the Chinese and Mongolian Altai, 2) to analyze the whole-rock geochemical and U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic ratios in zircons separated from representative samples, 3) To elucidate the provenance, deposition environment  of these metasedimentary rocks based on field and geochemical data and 4) to constrain the evolutionary history of the Chinese and Mongolian Altai based on the results of this study. The aims of the projects are to correlate the tectonic, geochronological and thermal evolution by providing link between deformation, metamorphism and magmatism. This multidisciplinary approach will provide critical information allowing correlation of  evolution of Chinese Altai with Mongolian Altai.
