Creating an international ERA Chair team combining leading experienced researcher/innovator with younger scientists and PhD students will ensure a successful establishment of the center combining excellent research, high-level education, and top innovations.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">To maximize the impact of the research center creation and its contribution towards the institutional and regional cooperation, strong interconnections between present academic workplaces (departments) of MUNI Pharm, workplaces of Masaryk University (Faculty of Science, RECETOX, Faculty of Medicine, and CEITEC), University hospitals Bohunice and Saint-Anne’s, and FNUSA-ICRC (International Clinical Research Center) and the new center will be established. The future sustainability of the center will be ensured not only through applying for Horizon Europe, national agencies, and other sources of funding but also through the MUNI BioPharma Hub project funded through the Recovery and Resilience Plan (the Czech Republic, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS), allocated funds 2 billion CZK). MU will thus integrate the pharmaceutical and medical research into MUNI BioPharma Hub “under one roof,” and the ERA Chair holder will strongly contribute to the organization and running of that project.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The center of excellence under the ERA Chair leadership and its integration into the research space of MU will accelerate the translation of scientific results in nanotechnologies in cooperation with the Technology Transfer Office of the faculty or MU into practice. Furthermore, the R&D realized by the center will bring the connection to other academic workplaces in the region and the industrial sector.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">We therefore seek a highly motivated and detail-oriented <b>Researcher of the R4 category</b> to conduct in-depth investigations, analyze data, and drive innovation in our field.

It still embodies the republican and democratic spirit of the times in its commitment to remaining autonomous and giving students an important role in designing their own courses. Close to 200,000 students have now passed through its doors.</p><p> </p><p>Based in Brno, Masaryk University has a staff of over 5,000 (more than 2,000 of them academics), which makes it the leading employer in South Moravia and the leading public university in the whole of Moravia as well as the second largest in the Czech Republic. One of the fastest-expanding universities in Europe, it is also able to be highly selective, since places to study there are the most sought after in the country. The total student body, scattered across over 200 different departments, institutes and clinics, is more than 40,000, over 7,000 of them from overseas.</p><p> </p><p>A leading research institution, Masaryk University offers courses across the full spectrum of traditional and contemporary fields, but with a particular focus on science. In 2006, for example, it set up a pioneering university research station in the Antarctic to explore the parts of the terrain which are ice-free. Four years later, with the help of around 200 million Euros in financial support from the European Union, it completed the construction of a new campus at Bohunice, Further developments have seen the overall area it covers rise to 70,000 square metres. It is now home to a range of facilities, including the Central European Research Centre of Excellence, equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories in life science and advanced materials, and the Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment.</p>","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/dsjlfkjxclkjv_409206260272.png","homepageUrl":"http://www.muni.cz/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/masaryk-university","country":"CZ","state":"Brno","location":"유럽","address":"Žerotínovo námestí 9 Rektorát, Brno-mesto, Brno, Czech Republic","phoneNumber":"+420 549 491 111","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1919-01-28T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-18T14:33:59.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":null,"default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
