Description:

A postdoc position is currently available at the Department of Anatomy, known for its dynamic and welcoming work environment. We are looking for an inspired applicant to lead a collaborative and generously-funded project exploring the immune-reactivity of the brain barriers in disease. Our main focus is on understanding the modifications that occur in brain barriers during Alzheimer’s disease and neuropathy, using cutting-edge techniques such as next-generation sequencing and advanced proteomics methods. A special interest will be in investigating the regulatory functions of the brain barriers in systemic and local inflammation.

The successful candidate should:

• Hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent in the relevant discipline, awarded within the past 7 years
• Have a research background that includes a minimum of 2 full years of work within the last 3 years in the field of research conducted outside the Czech Republic, with a workload equivalent to at least 0.5 full-time employment, or has experience as a doctoral student (or equivalent) in an international setting
• Demonstrate a publication record that includes a minimum of three research outputs (articles) within the past three years, surpassing the field's median standards, with at least two of them ranked in Q1 according to Web of Science.

Specific qualifications include:

• A strong understanding of the immune system, including knowledge of immune regulation and the mechanisms of inflammation, is crucial.
• Experimental skills relevant to the project (including molecular techniques and cell culture methods) and high motivation and capability for learning new concepts and methods are required.
• Possessing a robust foundation in bioinformatics will be greatly advantageous.
• Fluency in written and spoken English, with excellent communication skills and scientific writing capability.
• Demonstrating strong organizational skills
