▾ Pravidla výběrového řízení (OTM-R)
Biologické centrum AV ČR, v. v. i. se zavázalo k dodržování Evropské charty výzkumných pracovníků a Kodexu chování pro přijímání výzkumných pracovníků a je držitelem prestižního ocenění HR Excellence in Research (HR Award). Při náboru vědeckých pracovníků dodržuje zásady otevřeného, transparentního výběrového řízení (OTM-R), což zajišťuje unifikovaný postup výběrového řízení na všech vědeckých ústavech Biologického centra.

Základními principy OTM-R jsou otevřenost, transparentnost a nediskriminace. Požadavky na uchazeče se liší v závislosti na povaze pracovní náplně a jsou vždy specifikovány v relevantním inzerátu s pracovní nabídkou. Inzeráty jsou zveřejňovány na těchto stránkách a na dalších specializovaných portálech. Výběrová řízení na vědecké pozice v Biologickém centru jsou dvoukolová (1. kolo: přihlášky a následný výběr vhodných kandidátů do 2. kola, 2. kolo: pohovory). Pro každé výběrové řízení je ustavena výběrová komise, která je minimálně tříčlenná, zahrnuje zástupce Personálního úseku a je genderově vyvážená. Všichni uchazeči jsou informováni o výsledku výběrového řízení a každé výběrové řízení se řídí platným nařízením EU o ochraně osobních údajů.

Popis pracovní pozice:

Modelling of freshwater food webs under climate change and food web manipulation Institute of Hydrobiology owns multiple decades of detailed quantitative limnological data from nutrients to fish for a number of lakes and reservoirs. The successful candidate is expected to use these extensive data and construct and apply food-web models to investigate ecosystem dynamics of lakes and reservoirs, link modelling activities to ongoing research projects including models of water quality management and reservoir operation, initiate new research projects and supervise young researchers in these projects. The successful candidate will work in an experienced and dynamic team of aquatic ecologists at the Institute. She/he will develop and parametrize food web models with the aim of predicting community dynamics under scenarios of extensive experimental biomanipulations or climate change. The ultimate goal of the community dynamic models will be to cover seasonal changes of all main functional groups (protists, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish) and to take into account the size structure of the communities and longitudinal gradients of the reservoirs. This work will improve our understanding of ecosystem functioning and mitigation of climate change impacts. The models should inform on future water quality and fisheries management of freshwater lakes and reservoirs and generate hypotheses for further empirical research at the Institute. The successful candidate is encouraged to establish new research directions and attract third-party funded projects to foster her/his own research career. Creating a research group aimed on modelling of freshwater ecosystems and cooperation with the universities and other research institutions will be strongly supported. The project will be linked to internationally funded, multi-group research projects (ClimeFish, MacFish) and utilize extensive, multi-level data currently available at the Institute of Hydrobiology. Additional modelling expertise will be provided by Assoc. Prof. Pavel Kratina, Queen Mary University of London (http://www.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk/staff/pavelkratina.html) and Assoc. Prof. David Boukal, University of South Bohemia, Ceske Budejovice (http://kbe.prf.jcu.cz/en/david-boukal). POSITION DETAILS Target start date is January 2021 (negotiable). Initial appointment will be for 24 months, with an extension for up to 5 more years based on initial performance. We offer a highly competitive salary in local standards (up to ca. 2500 EUR monthly with additional performance bonuses for every published paper and supervised project) commensurate with the applicant’s experience and skills. Successful applicant will be encouraged to develop his/her own research agenda compatible with the mission of the Institute.
