Dear foreign candidates,

If you are interested in working at The Institute of Philosophy, CAS in Prague and want to get informed before applying job application, here you can find helpful information: 

Visa process
Resources on the website of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic

Accommodation

When considering commercial lease of an apartment, you can use the following links to real estate agencies and search engines:

Bank account

This is a non-exhaustive list of banks you can find in Prague: Airbank, Ceska Sporitelna, Equa Bank, Fio bank, KB, Raiffeisen Bank, Sberbank, and Unicredit. If your department at the Institute of Philosophy has an assistant, you can also ask for her/his support in this matter. In banks, one can usually find some English-speaking staff to help you. Bank websites as a rule have an English version and it is usually possible to have a secondary account in a foreign currency (e.g., in EUR).

Healthcare

In every healthcare facility, there is English-speaking medical staff on site. If the first person you see does not speak English, just ask and an English-speaking member of staff will be called. Some healthcare centres provide information about their services on their websites in English (e.g., the Motol University Hospital): https://www.fnmotol.cz/en/. For medical emergencies in the Czech Republic, call 155.

If you require some medical assistance before you receive your Czech insurance card (from VZP) and you are an EU citizen still insured in your home country, your EU insurance card will work smoothly here (they will copy some information from your card and sort out the payment with your insurer). If you are from overseas, you will need to use your temporary/travel insurance and payment depends on its conditions. In general, though, prices are, for instance in comparison with the US, very modest.

If you consider to apply for some vacant position, you can read the following onboarding package information you will follow.

The other HR procedures for heads of departments of Philosophy Institute are available on intranet (Handbook of recommended procedures for hiring, Practical tips for conducting interviews with candidates for a position, Foreign Researches Guide, Checklist for onboarding and adaption)
