Offer Description

Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years (eg. 2016 or later). The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF. 

IEAP CTU is developing and operating Timepix-based radiation monitors in space for over 10 years. Currently we are developing new generation of the radiation monitor called HardPix, which is planned for missions onboard ISS, Lunar Gateway and satellites in Earth orbit. Our team of engineers would welcome help with the development of firmware for space detectors, implementation control and data processing algorithm in MCU.
