This approach will help reduce the occurrence of bacterial infections, lower sterilization costs, and encourage the use of biodegradable materials.</p> <p><strong>The project focuses on two technological objectives:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>TO1 –</strong> Product: development of an innovative antibacterial nanomaterial</li> <li><strong>TO2 –</strong> Process: optimization of sterilization and implementation of thermolabile substances including the nanomaterial into production</li> </ul> <p>The successful realization of both objectives will also enable energy and waste transformation of the company, particularly reducing dependence on natural gas and more efficient processing of biodegradable waste.</p> <p>The project supports applicants with limited work experience - it is intended for graduates who have completed their master's or doctoral studies no more than 6 years ago.</p> <p><strong>What will your job responsibilities be?</strong></p> <ul> <li>collaboration on the implementation of project TO2 throughout its duration</li> <li>coordination with the academic and corporate team</li> <li>ensuring knowledge transfer in the area of sterilization processes and implementation of nanoparticles into in vitro operations</li> <li>verification of the effectiveness of nanoparticles - testing the efficiency and effectiveness of the introduced nanoparticles and their optimization</li> <li>optimization of technological procedures and processes with the aim of increasing efficiency and economic viability</li> <li>transferring expertise to corporate practice<br /> providing administrative and technical support for the research project</li> </ul> <p><strong>What do we expect from you?</strong></p> <ul> <li>master's degree in horticulture or a related field</li> <li>independence in solving research tasks and ability to take responsibility for assigned objectives</li> <li>creative approach to work and willingness to seek new solutions</li> <li>excellent communication skills in Czech necessary for knowledge transfer to a Czech company,</li> <li>communicative knowledge of English</li> <li>ability to work in teams in both academic and corporate environments</li> </ul> <p><strong>What additional skills will be appreciated?</strong></p> <ul> <li>experience in microbiology or in vitro cultivation</li> <li>valid driver's license category B (active driver)</li> <li>knowledge of Italian is an advantage</li> </ul> <p><strong>What can we offer you?</strong></p> <ul> <li>collaboration on the prestigious NanoPerspective project</li> <li>6 weeks of vacation</li> <li>opportunities for professional education and development, upskilling, courses, and training</li> <li>support for work-life balance</li> <li>meal allowance (Edenred Card/canteen)</li> <li>discounted MultiSport card</li> <li>ALIVE card, which gives you access to various discounts</li> <li>ability to enjoy the benefits of a university environment, such as sports courses at the Center for Sports Activities, Counseling and Career Center, Botanical Garden and Arboretum, recreational facilities, libraries, and purchasing university products (game, eggs, beer, wine, Christmas trees, etc.)</li> <li>after three years of employment, contribution to selected savings products for retirement and long-term care insurance</li> </ul> <p><strong>Number of available positions:</strong> 1</p> <p><strong>Expected start date:</strong> July 2026</p> <p><strong>Duration of employment:</strong> for a fixed term until 30 September 2028</p> <p><strong>Work load:</strong> 0.8 (32 hours per week)</p> <p><strong>Work location:</strong> Lednice and Šakvice (South Moravian Region)</p> <p>Are you interested and want to become <strong>part of the NanoPerspective research</strong> team at the Faculty of Horticulture?</p> <p>Apply for the selection process <strong>by 31 May 2026</strong> and send us:</p> <ul> <li>professional CV</li> <li>cover letter</li> </ul> <p>How do our selection processes work? orlz.mendelu.cz/jak-u-nas-probihaji-vyberova-rizeni</p> <p><strong>We look forward to hearing from you!</strong></p>]]></job-description>

				<job-title><![CDATA[Chief Executive Officer – Diagnostics]]></job-title>
				<job-description><![CDATA[<p>ExoDetect is a new subsidiary of Terasom s.r.o., focused exclusively on bringing a breakthrough cancer diagnostic platform to market. The platform isolates exosomes (tiny biological particles shed by cells into the bloodstream) and detects cancer biomarkers using a patented turbidimetric readout – delivering results in under 15 minutes at a fraction of the cost of current liquid biopsy technologies. The technology has been validated on 65 lung cancer and 100+ prostate cancer clinical samples, achieving 90–97% sensitivity. Three patent families protect the core technology. Independent AFM imaging by the Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry (Prague) has confirmed the quality of exosome isolation. AI-based analysis of the diagnostic data is being performed by Nanometrix (London).</p> <p>The company has an existing prototype isolation device and readout instrument, a regulatory roadmap prepared by QbD Group (Belgium), and a team of 5 scientists in Prague. What it needs now is an operational leader who can take this from prototype to product.</p> <p><strong>Leadership Structure</strong></p> <p><em><strong>ExoDetect is led by its co-founders:</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Dr. Daniela Pankova (Co-Founder &amp; CSO) – responsible for scientific direction, core technology development, and translational strategy</li> <li>Jonathan Jackson (Co-Founder)</li> </ul> <p>The CEO will work in close partnership with the CSO, ensuring tight integration between scientific innovation and product development, and will be responsible for operational execution and company scaling.</p> <p><strong>The Role &amp; Challenge</strong></p> <ul> <li>We are seeking an experienced, hands-on CEO to lead ExoDetect through its next phase: transforming a validated prototype into a robust, manufacturable, and commercially viable diagnostic product.</li> <li>This is a high-impact, execution-focused role, requiring close collaboration with scientific leadership and direct involvement in engineering, regulatory, and commercial strategy.</li> <li>The role expects to be a leader who can translate scientific innovation into a real-world product, in close collaboration with the founding team.</li> <li>Someone comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering, regulatory, and business.</li> <li>A builder who thrives in a resource-constrained, high-potential startup environment.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>This role exists because the company faces specific, concrete engineering and commercialisation challenges that require an experienced IVD operator to solve:</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Find the company to redesigning the specific prototype into the fully working equipment.</li> <li>The company needs to navigate a three-stage regulatory pathway: Research Use Only (4–6 months), then IVDR Class A (8–12 months), then IVDR Class C diagnostic approval (20–24 months).</li> <li>The $5M investment that was expected has not materialised. The company needs to find alternative funding through grants, angel investment, and early revenue.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What You Will Do</strong></p> <p><em><strong>Device Engineering &amp; Manufacturing (First 6 Months – Highest Priority)</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Select and engage a Design for Manufacture (DFM) engineering firm to redesign both the isolation device and readout instrument for volume production.</li> <li>Manage the DFM relationship through assessment, concept design, detailed design, and prototyping.</li> <li>Redesigning and simplifying existing prototypes. Target: injection-moulded, assembly time under 5 minutes.</li> <li>Solve the readout device environmental sensitivity problem – either through on-board compensation or optical redesign.</li> <li>Qualify manufacturing partners for production at volumes of 200–10,000 units.</li> <li>Supporting other 3 independent programs.</li> <li>Supporting patents applications.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Regulatory &amp; Quality</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Execute the QbD Scenario 1 roadmap: establish ISO 9001 QMS, achieve RUO product launch within 6 months.</li> <li>Prepare for QbD Scenario 2: transition to ISO 13485, IVDR Class A self-declaration.</li> <li>Implement design controls from the outset to minimise rework for IVDR Class C.</li> <li>Oversee clinical sample collection and clinical performance studies for IVDR Class C validation.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Commercial &amp; Revenue</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Launch the RUO isolation device to research customers, biotech companies, and academic institutions.</li> <li>Develop the commercial strategy: pricing, distribution, key accounts.</li> <li>Build relationships with pharma companies for biomarker discovery and clinical trial partnerships.</li> <li>Generate first revenue within 9–12 months of joining.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Fundraising</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Lead grant applications (EIC Accelerator, EIC Pre-Accelerator, TACR SIGMA).</li> <li>Prepare and execute a bridge funding round (€2–€5M).</li> <li>Build relationships with biotech-focused investors for a future Series A.</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>Team &amp; Operations</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Manage the Prague laboratory and team of 5 scientists on a day-to-day basis.</li> <li>CEO works in close partnership with CSO, who leads scientific direction and core technology development.</li> <li>Report to the co-founders (Jonathan Jackson and Dr. Daniela Pankova).</li> <li>Hire additional team members as needed (engineer, commercial, regulatory).</li> </ul> <p><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></p> <p><em><strong>Must-Have</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>5+ years of leadership experience in an IVD, medical device, or diagnostics company – ideally in an early-stage or scaling environment.</li> <li>Direct, hands-on experience taking a medical device or IVD product from prototype through CE-marking (EU MDR or IVDR) and first commercial sales.</li> <li>Understanding of Design for Manufacture processes – you must have worked with engineering firms to turn a prototype into a production-ready product.</li> <li>Strong knowledge of ISO 13485, IVDR regulatory requirements, and design control processes.</li> <li>Demonstrated success in fundraising: track record of securing at least €2M in combined grants and investment.</li> <li>Based in Prague or willing to relocate immediately.

A key aspect of this research is the study of the chemical composition of aerosol particles and their size distribution. These properties, for example, determine whether particles can act as cloud condensation nuclei and thus indirectly influence the climate. Significant support for this research is provided by the infrastructure of the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice (NAOK), whose advanced instrumentation and a 250 m tall tower, enables long-term and detailed monitoring of atmospheric aerosol composition.</p> <p><em><strong>Possible postdoctoral project focus:</strong></em></p> <p>The postdoctoral researcher will use a high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer (L-ToF-AMS, Aerodyne) for vertical measurements at the Central European NAOK station. Measurements will be conducted alternately at ground level and at a height of 230 m to capture detailed changes in aerosol chemical composition. The work will include not only technical operation and maintenance of the instrument, but primarily comprehensive analysis of the annual dataset obtained from these measurements, with emphasis on interpretation in the context of atmospheric processes.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals of the CAS</strong> is a public research institution that specializes in chemical and environmental engineering, and materials chemistry.
