IOCB Fellowships
The Institute provides a competitive gross salary of 50.000 CZK/month and the obligatory employer parts of the health and social insurances. The salary is subject to income tax. Full health insurance coverage is a part of the fellowship. Based on availability, temporary accommodation in the institute’s or Czech Academy of Sciences’ guest houses may be offered at an affordable rent.
The committee considers applications by strong candidates, who did their undergraduate and graduate studies at reputable institutions, based on competitive research that is documented in several original publications in respected journals of the fields.
Potential applicants must contact a prospective advisor at IOCB and agree with them on a potential research project before an application can be submitted. Based on this agreement, the project should be consulted with the supervisor, but it is expected to be prepared solely by the applicant. The applicant subsequently submits the complete application package as a single PDF file to the perspective group leader, except for two letters of recommendation, which must be sent separately and confidentially directly to the address fellowship @ uochb.cas.cz by each of the providers of the support letter. The group leader transmits the package to the address fellowship @ uochb.cas.cz.
Grantees of the IOCB fellowship are asked to submit within one month after the end of the fellowship a final report to the committee (fellowship @ uochb.cas.cz) consisting of either copies of their published papers during the fellowship or, if papers haven't been published during the period of the fellowship, an approximately one-page long report of the results.

- Contact address

- Copy of Ph.D. diploma
- List of publications
