A postdoctoral trainee, also called POSTDOC, participates in research carried out by the research team and is responsible for specific assigned project.
Postdoc is appointed for the purpose of training to develop the ability to reason in a scientific manner, formulate hypotheses independently, and to perform independent research. It is an excellent opportunity to fully develop the skills acquired throughout PhD studies.
The postdoc experience at CEITEC will allow you to become familiar with practical aspects of research, to learn how to design and plan experiments within an international team, and last but not least to collaborate with our regional and international partners from academia, as well as industry.
Postdoctoral trainees are expected to publish the results of their research, to mentor junior researchers, and if they wish, they can participate in teaching activities. Postdocs at CEITEC are appointed for a period of three years, with a possibility of extension, typically, for additional three years.

Postdoc Peer Committee

CEITEC MU established the Postdoc Peer Committee in 2019.

The goal of the Postdoc Peer Committee is to hear the voice of CEITEC MU postdocs, to understand their needs and jointly seek for solutions to problems that we can solve. Postdocs are drawn to grass-roots activism to create better working conditions for themselves and their peers. In doing so, they can pick up and polish skills such as negotiation, time management, communication and leadership that aid their own career development.

The Postdoc Peer Committee identifies institutional strengths and weaknesses, suggest and jointly with the administration implements solutions that fit the postdoc needs. The committee can suggest which soft and transferable skills courses will be offered to postdocs at CEITEC MU, which scientific and social events for postdocs will take place, so that the no one feels isolated and interdisciplinary collaborations can flourish.
