Postdoc
The CTS has a long experience in training postdocs (since 1991, pioneering this stage of an academic career within the Czech Republic), every year it recruits a new postdoc to its team. It is a relatively small institution where postdocs are valuable full members of the CTS team and they are deliberately selected to meaningfully complement the existing team and at the same time have the opportunity to develop within it.
It is expected that the postdoc will take part in collaborative projects of the CTS. The postdocs participate in internal and general seminars which the CTS organizes on a weekly basis and in the 3-day off-site meetings (twice a year) as well as in other activities such as workshops or summer schools. Through participating in these interdisciplinary activities the postdocs develop their competencies in knowledge mobilization, discussion across disciplines, widens the knowledge about the spectre of research methods and theories and their use.The vibrant environment in the CTS enables to use the period of the postdoc to discuss the stages of postdoc research with specialists from various disciplines and of various career stages. The CTS is well connected in international cooperation and collaboration and thus it provides a solid environment for the growth of both academic (research and presentation of results) competencies and general professional skills.
