We have rich expertise in optics, in particular light propagation in optical fibres. Masaryk University is modern, dynamic and the most attractive university in the Czech Republic with ten faculties, more than 6500 staff and 33 000 students, a wide range of research areas and a strong international position. We are the largest academic employer in the South Moravian Region. Faculty of Science MU, a holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award by the European Commission, is a research-oriented faculty, offering university education (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degree programs) closely linked to both primary and applied research and high school teaching of the following sciences: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth sciences. We are the most productive scientific unit of the Masaryk University generating around 40 % of MU research results. Description Optical fibres are the backbone of modern civilization. But what if the very cables carrying our data could also be used to eavesdrop on our voices? This PhD project investigates the Acousto-Optical effect, where acoustic waves (sound) subtly deform optical fibres, creating detectable changes in light propagation. We are looking for a driven researcher to explore these mechanisms, assess the security risks of fibre-based interception, and develop countermeasures to protect communication networks. Selected student will have an opportunity to:
  • Investigate detailed mechanisms of acousto-optical interaction in various types of optical fibres.
  • Assess the real-world risks of communication interception and propose mitigation strategies.
  • In collaboration with our partner institution at Brno University of Technology, utilize high-stability laser light and scattering analysis to reconstruct acoustic signals.
Offered Conditions Selected candidates will receive a comprehensive guidance and training in various fields of modern physics. Besides, studying at our Faculty is an opportunity to study and live in a modern and dynamic city and one of 10 best student cities worldwide. In addition to the standard PhD scholarship at Masaryk University (CZK 15 000 per month), additional funds are provided through departmental resources (assignment in research projects, additional scholarships). An overall monthly income is typically around CZK 30 000, which provides a stable income more than sufficient for a comfortable student life in the Czech Republic. Additional support includes performance-based bonuses (scholarships for successfully published papers) as well as support for international mobility or attendance of conferences etc. Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Master degree in Physics (required at the time of enrolment to the PhD study program).
  • Solid understanding of optics and theory of electromagnetic fields.
  • Advanced skills in MATLAB, Python, or similar languages for data analysis and simulation.

But we are only beginning to understand the consequences of this eco-evolutionary process for dynamics of host – parasite interactions and stability of entire communities. We ask how rapid evolution impacts maintenance of diversity in communities and maintenance of genetic variation in populations – processes which have been mostly studied separately. To address these questions, our collaborative project uses a novel experimental community model system of wild Drosophila species and their parasitoids from tropical Australia. We are able to perform multigenerational laboratory microcosm experiments and track eco-evolutionary dynamics in fine detail. The candidate will use a combination of approaches: experimental community evolution, population genomics, and eco-evolutionary modelling. The specific PhD projects will result from a discussion between the candidate and the supervisor. REQUIREMENTS: A MSc degree is required to enter PhD in Czech Republic. Following experience is an advantage: Research experience with laboratory experiments Experience with population genetics or molecular ecology Experience in eco-evolutionary dynamics or population genetic modelling BENEFITS:
  • 5 weeks of paid holiday yearly, subsidized lunches in our own canteen
  • Pension insurance contribution, support of leisure sport & cultural activities
  • Full health insurance and social security, student benefits for PhD students

Recently, guaranteed income for PhD students has become a law in the Czech Republic and the student will thus receive a salary which comfortably covers living expenses in the Czech Republic. The working language is English and applicants from all countries are eligible. Together with the PhD student we will choose a co-supervisor from current international collaborators or start new collaborations. The position will include a research stay abroad. The successful applicant will join the Laboratory of Experimental Ecology [ http://lab.hrcek.net ] at the Institute of Entomology, Biology Centre, Czech Academy of Sciences, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, under the supervision of Dr Jan Hrcek. The laboratory is a multinational team of postdocs, PhD students and technicians. The applicant will thus have the opportunity to work extensively with other team members. The laboratory obtained prestigious high-level funding for five years (ERC Consolidator grant) and therefore can provide substantial resources and support for exceptional research. The laboratory is part of a dynamic international centre for research in species interactions. The Biology Centre is located in České Budějovice (max. 2 hours south of the capital Prague), a safe middle-sized city with ca. 100K inhabitants, relaxed atmosphere, historical centre and a breathtaking countryside around providing numerous opportunities for research and leisure activities.

Profile of the graduate

In addition to the scientific and pedagogical pathway at universities, a graduate of the doctoral study program in Demography will also find employment in scientific-research institutions dealing mainly with broad-based social development, ranging from sociological or economic research to medical research or the research of environmental change. S/he can work in practice as an expert in high-level jobs in government (especially Ministries and State Statistical Service), regional and local government, large commercial organizations or agencies focusing on consultancy, opinion polling and marketing. Here everywhere a doctoral graduate can elaborate deeper analyses and forecasts of human population development and its broader contexts. These include, for example, capacity estimates for social infrastructure, especially in the areas of pre-school and school education, health and social services, or technical infrastructure such as housing, public transport and communications, population supply and waste management. Its work is also irreplaceable, for example, in identifying the causes and potential impacts of population climate change and in formulating public policy objectives and measures, as well as in preparing and evaluating medium- and long-term development programs and taking strategic decisions.

Our goal is to use rational design to develop new inhibitors of actin polymerization by targeting actin polymerization regulators, such as Mena and the Arp2/3 complex. The project includes a synthesis of hits from virtual screening and its optimization and structure-activity relationship studies. The position is funded by a prestigious Junior STAR grant by the Czech Science Foundation. We offer:
  • Study at the largest higher education institution devoted to education and research in the field of chemistry in Central Europe
  • Work in a small team and friendly environment
  • Employment contract (salary + scholarship)
  • Low cost of living in tolerant, progressive and secure country with rich cultural and natural heritage
  • Study in the heart of Europe with convenient transport connections to the whole world
We are looking for:
  • Highly motivated candidates with background in synthetic organic chemistry
  • MSc. degree in organic/medicinal chemistry (or soon-to-be graduate)
  • Pro-active, flexible and responsible students
  • Good level of English (oral and written, level B2 or higher)
Timelines:
  • Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis
  • Expected start: September 2026
How to apply Please send a motivation letter (maximum one page), your CV, and contact details for two referees via email to pavla.perlikova@vscht.cz. Short-listed candidates will be invited to an online interview.
