Announcement of the Call for Applications under the Program:
Call No. 02_18_053 for International Mobility of Researchers, Technical and Administrative Staff in Priority Axis 2 of the OP
Project Name: Mobility Support at UP II.
Supported Activity: 1 – Post-docs from abroad in the Czech Rep.
Mobility: 1 – Post-doc from abroad in the Czech Rep. (LF_4)
Hosting Institution/Faculty/Department: Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry
Mobility Location: Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic
Duration: 18 months
Term: the job will commence from June 1st, 2020
Mobility description:
The successful candidate will participate in ongoing projects in the position of Junior research scientist (Post-doc) as a full-time employee (40 hours/week) of the Palacký University with all relevant benefits (lunch subsidy, leave of 40 days/year).
Topic: Targeted proteomics for validation of protein biomarkers in proximal fluids.
The incoming post-doc will participate, during his/her 18 months of stay, on development of targeted proteomic methods for validation of biomarkers in proximal fluids that we have identified in our previous studies in upper gastrointestinal tumors and in exhaled condensates in a number of lung diseases. The targeted proteomic analysis should verify the results of bottom-up proteomics on a much higher level of sensitivity (up to thousand-fold) and is the first step in development of immunochemical methods that will allow quantification of individual analytes in routine clinical settings.
The researcher is obliged to actively participate in a conference / seminar / workshop, etc. organized by the hosting institution at least once in every six months of the mobility.
Support for the Researcher’s Family: NO
Salary Offered: net salary is 46 500,- CZK

The individual candidates will be assessed by the committee at a common meeting according to the following criteria:
Criterion 1:
The number and quality of articles in impact factor journals and other publications
Possible rating: min. 0, max. 30 points
Criterion 2:
Participation in scientific-research projects (international, national)
Possible rating: min. 0, max. 10 points
Criterion 3:
Benefits for the hosting institution within the respective field of study (scientific field) the candidate is applying for
Possible rating: min. 0, max. 10 points
The maximum rating achievable is 50 points. When assessing the candidates with regard to criteria 1 and 2, the particular candidate achieves the number of points for fulfilling the particular criterion in accordance with the objectively identifiable value set above. When assessing the candidates with regard to criterion 3 each member of the selection committee awards the points to the particular candidate individually at his/her discretion. The final number of points for the particular candidate is the average of the rating awarded by the individual committee members. The winner of the selection procedure is the candidate who has achieved the most points in the assessment of the individual criteria.
A written record of the assessment procedure will be made, including the information about the composition of the assessment committee, the criteria of candidate assessment, the reasoning of ratings, and the name of the winner.
