Európska charta a kódex pre výskumných pracovníkov

V roku 2005 Európska komisia prijala Európsku chartu pre výskumných pracovníkov a Kódex správania pre nábor výskumných pracovníkov. Tieto dva dokumenty adresované výskumníkom, ako aj výskumným zamestnávateľom a financujúcim subjektom vo verejnom aj súkromnom sektore sú kľúčovými prvkami politiky EÚ na podporu kariéry výskumných pracovníkov. Podpora kariér výskumníkov v Európe je roztrieštená na miestnej, regionálnej, národnej alebo odvetvovej úrovni a neumožňuje Európe čo najlepšie využiť jej vedecký potenciál. Charta a kódex zabezpečujú, že výskumníci môžu mať rovnaké práva a povinnosti v ktorejkoľvek európskej krajine.

 

Európska charta výskumných pracovníkov je súbor všeobecných zásad a požiadaviek, ktoré špecifikujú úlohy, zodpovednosti a nároky výskumných pracovníkov, ako aj zamestnávateľov a / alebo financujúcich pracovníkov výskumných pracovníkov. Aplikácia do praxe je zodpovednosťou zamestnávateľov, financujúcich organizácií a výskumníkov samotných.

 

Cieľom charty je zabezpečiť, aby povaha vzťahu medzi výskumníkmi a zamestnávateľmi alebo financujúcimi organizáciami prispievala k úspešnému výkonu v oblasti vytvárania, prenosu, zdieľania a šírenia poznatkov a technologického rozvoja a kariérneho rozvoja výskumných pracovníkov. Charta tiež uznáva hodnotu všetkých foriem mobility ako prostriedku na posilnenie profesionálneho rozvoja výskumných pracovníkov. V tomto zmysle charta predstavuje rámec pre výskumných pracovníkov, zamestnávateľov a financujúcich pracovníkov, ktorí ich vyzývajú, aby konali zodpovedne a profesionálne vo svojom pracovnom prostredí, a aby sa navzájom uznávali ako také. Charta sa zaoberá všetkými výskumníkmi v Európskej únii vo všetkých fázach svojej kariéry a pokrýva všetky oblasti výskumu vo verejnom a súkromnom sektore bez ohľadu na povahu menovania alebo zamestnania, právne postavenie svojho zamestnávateľa alebo typ organizácie alebo v ktorom sa práca vykonáva. Zohľadňuje viacero úloh výskumníkov, ktorí sú určení nielen na vykonávanie výskumu a / alebo na realizáciu rozvojových aktivít, ale aj na dohľad, mentoring, riadenie alebo administratívne úlohy.

 

Dokumenty sú k dispozícii vo formáte PDF v sekcii Dokumenty pod názvom „European Charter for Researchers and on a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers“.

 

Pracovné príležitosti pre výskumníkov pribúdajú každý deň. Ich prehľad môžete sledovať na portály EURAXESS.

Všeobecné pravidlá a požiadavky pre otvorený trh pre výskumníkov delíme na dve skupiny.

1. Pravidlá vzťahujúce sa na výskumníkov

Sloboda výskumu

Výskumní pracovníci by mali sústrediť svoj výskum na dobro ľudstva a rozširovať hranice vedeckých poznatkov, pričom by mali slobodu myslenia a prejavu a slobodu určovať metódy, ktorými sa riešia problémy podľa uznávaných etických zásad a praktík. Výskumní pracovníci by však mali uznať obmedzenia tejto slobody, ktoré by mohli vzniknúť v dôsledku konkrétnych výskumných okolností (vrátane dohľadu / usmernenia / riadenia) alebo prevádzkových obmedzení, napr. z rozpočtových dôvodov alebo z dôvodov infraštruktúry, alebo najmä v priemyselnom sektore z dôvodu ochrany duševného vlastníctva. Takéto obmedzenia by však nemali byť v rozpore s uznávanými etickými zásadami a postupmi, ktoré musia výskumníci dodržiavať.

Etické princípy

Výskumní pracovníci by mali dodržiavať uznávané etické postupy a základné etické princípy, ktoré zodpovedajú ich disciplíne, ako aj etickým štandardom, ako sa dokumentuje v rôznych národných, sektorových alebo inštitucionálnych etických kódexoch.

Profesionálna zodpovednosť

 Výskumní pracovníci by mali vyvinúť maximálne úsilie, aby zabezpečili, že ich výskum bude pre spoločnosť dôležitý a nebude duplikovať výskum, ktorý sa predtým uskutočnil inde. Musia sa vyhýbať plagiátorstvu akéhokoľvek druhu a dodržiavať zásadu duševného vlastníctva a spoločného vlastníctva údajov v prípade výskumu vykonávaného v spolupráci s nadriadeným a / alebo inými výskumnými pracovníkmi. Potreba potvrdiť nové pozorovania tým, že sa ukáže, že pokusy sú reprodukovateľné, by sa nemali interpretovať ako plagiátorstvo za predpokladu, že údaje, ktoré majú byť potvrdené, sú výslovne citované. Výskumní pracovníci by mali zabezpečiť, ak je niektorý aspekt ich práce delegovaný, aby osoba, ktorej sú delegované, má právomoc vykonávať ich.

Profesionálny prístup

Výskumní pracovníci by mali byť oboznámení so strategickými cieľmi, ktorými sa riadia ich výskumné prostredie a mechanizmy financovania, a pred začatím výskumu alebo sprístupňovaním poskytnutých zdrojov by mali hľadať všetky potrebné schválenia. Mali by informovať svojich zamestnávateľov, poskytovateľov financovania alebo nadriadeného, keď sa ich výskumný projekt oneskorí, predefinuje alebo dokončí, alebo oznámi, či má byť ukončený skôr alebo pozastavený z akéhokoľvek dôvodu.

Zmluvné a právne záväzky

Výskumní pracovníci na všetkých úrovniach musia byť oboznámení s vnútroštátnymi, sektorovými alebo inštitucionálnymi predpismi upravujúcimi odbornú prípravu a / alebo pracovné podmienky. To zahŕňa predpisy o právach duševného vlastníctva a požiadavky a podmienky akéhokoľvek sponzora alebo donorov, nezávisle od povahy ich zmluvy. Výskumní pracovníci by mali dodržiavať takéto predpisy tým, že poskytnú požadované výsledky (napr. Diplomové práce, publikácie, patenty, správy, vývoj nových produktov atď.), Ako sú uvedené v zmluvných podmienkach alebo v rovnocennom dokumente.

Zodpovednosť

Výskumníci si musia uvedomiť, že sú zodpovední voči svojim zamestnávateľom, sponzorom alebo iným súvisiacim verejným alebo súkromným orgánom, ako aj z etických dôvodov voči spoločnosti ako celku. Najmä výskumní pracovníci financovaní z verejných zdrojov sú zodpovední aj za efektívne využívanie peňazí daňových poplatníkov. Z tohto dôvodu by mali dodržiavať zásady riadneho, transparentného a efektívneho finančného riadenia a spolupracovať so všetkými autorizovanými auditmi svojho výskumu, či už vykonávanými ich zamestnávateľmi / financujúcimi subjektmi alebo etickými výbormi. Metódy zhromažďovania a analýzy, výstupy a prípadne údaje o údajoch by mali byť vždy, keď je to potrebné a podľa požiadaviek príslušných orgánov, otvorené vnútornej a vonkajšej kontrole.

Osvedčené postupy vo výskume

Výskumní pracovníci by mali vždy prijať bezpečné pracovné postupy v súlade s vnútroštátnymi právnymi predpismi vrátane prijatia potrebných bezpečnostných opatrení na ochranu zdravia a bezpečnosti a na obnovu po katastrofách v oblasti informačných technológií, napr. prípravou správnych záložných stratégií. Mali by byť tiež oboznámení so súčasnými vnútroštátnymi právnymi požiadavkami týkajúcimi sa požiadaviek na ochranu údajov a ochranu dôvernosti a mali by podniknúť potrebné kroky na ich neustále plnenie.

Šírenie, využívanie výsledkov

Všetci vedci by mali v súlade so svojimi zmluvnými dojednaniami zabezpečiť, aby sa výsledky ich výskumu šírili a využívali, napr. oznámené, prevedené do iných výskumných prostredí alebo, ak je to vhodné, obchodované. Od hlavných výskumných pracovníkov sa predovšetkým očakáva, že budú mať vedúcu úlohu pri zabezpečovaní toho, aby výskum bol plodný a aby sa výsledky buď komerčne využívali alebo sprístupnili verejnosti (alebo obom) vždy, keď príležitosť vznikne.

Zapojenie verejnosti

Výskumní pracovníci by mali zabezpečiť, aby ich výskumné činnosti boli všeobecne známe spoločnosti takým spôsobom, aby ich mohli pochopiť nešpecialisti, čím by sa zlepšilo pochopenie vedy zo strany verejnosti. Priama spolupráca s verejnosťou pomôže výskumným pracovníkom lepšie pochopiť verejný záujem o priority v oblasti vedy a techniky a tiež obavy verejnosti.

Vzťah s nadriadenými

Výskumní pracovníci vo svojej fáze výcviku by mali vytvoriť štruktúrovaný a pravidelný vzťah so svojimi nadriadenými a zástupcami fakulty / rezortu, aby mohli plne využiť ich vzťah s nimi. Zahŕňa to vedenie záznamov o všetkých pracovných postupoch a výsledkoch výskumu, získanie spätnej väzby prostredníctvom správ a seminárov, uplatňovanie takej spätnej väzby a práca v súlade s dohodnutými harmonogrammi, míľnikmi, výstupmi a / alebo výsledkami výskumu.

Dohľad a riadiace povinnosti

Vedúci výskumní pracovníci by mali venovať osobitnú pozornosť svojej viacstrannej úlohe supervízorov, mentorov, kariérových poradcov, vedúcich pracovníkov, koordinátorov projektov, manažérov alebo vedeckých komunikátorov. Tieto úlohy by mali vykonávať podľa najvyšších odborných štandardov. Pokiaľ ide o ich úlohu supervízorov alebo mentorov výskumných pracovníkov, vedúci výskumní pracovníci by mali vybudovať konštruktívny a pozitívny vzťah s výskumníkmi v počiatočnom štádiu s cieľom vytvoriť podmienky pre efektívny prenos vedomostí a pre ďalší úspešný rozvoj výskumných pracovníkov, kariéry.

Pokračujúci profesionálny rozvoj

Výskumníci vo všetkých štádiách kariéry by sa mali snažiť neustále zlepšovať prostredníctvom pravidelnej aktualizácie a rozširovania svojich zručností a kompetencií. To sa môže dosiahnuť rôznymi spôsobmi vrátane, ale nie výlučne, formálneho školenia, workshopov, konferencií a e-vzdelávania.

 

 

2. Pravidlá vzťahujúce sa na zamestnávateľov a investorov

Uznanie profesie

Všetci vedci zaoberajúci sa výskumnou kariérou by mali byť uznaní za profesionálov a malo by sa s nimi tak aj zaobchádzať. Malo by sa tak začať už hneď na začiatku ich kariéry, a to na úrovni postgraduálneho štúdia, a mali by zahŕňať všetky úrovne bez ohľadu na ich klasifikáciu na národnej úrovni (napr. Zamestnanec, postgraduálny študent, doktorand, postdoktorand, štátni zamestnanci).

Výskumné prostredie

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financovatelia výskumných pracovníkov by mali zabezpečiť, aby sa vytvorilo stimulujúce prostredie výskumu alebo odbornej prípravy v oblasti výskumu, ktoré ponúka vhodné vybavenie, zariadenia a príležitosti vrátane spolupráce na diaľku prostredníctvom výskumných sietí a že vnútroštátne alebo odvetvové nariadenia týkajúce sa zdravia a bezpečnosti vo výskume sú dodržané. Investori by mali zabezpečiť poskytnutie primeraných zdrojov na podporu dohodnutého pracovného programu.

Pracovné podmienky

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie by mali zabezpečiť, aby pracovné podmienky pre výskumných pracovníkov vrátane výskumných pracovníkov so zdravotným postihnutím v prípade potreby poskytli pružnosť považovanú za nevyhnutnú pre úspešné výsledky výskumu v súlade s existujúcimi vnútroštátnymi právnymi predpismi a s vnútroštátnymi alebo odvetvovými dohodami o kolektívnom vyjednávaní. Mali by sa zameriavať na poskytovanie pracovných podmienok, ktoré umožnia ženám i mužom výskumných pracovníkov spojiť rodinu a prácu, deti a kariéru. Osobitná pozornosť by sa mala venovať okrem iného pružnej pracovnej dobe, práci na čiastočný úväzok, pracovnej dobe a pracovnému voľnu, ako aj potrebným finančným a administratívnym ustanoveniam upravujúcim takéto dojednania.

Stabilita a trvalosť zamestnania

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie by mali zabezpečiť, aby výkon výskumných pracovníkov nebol narušený nestabilitou pracovných zmlúv, a preto by sa mali čo najviac zaviazať k zlepšeniu stability podmienok zamestnávania výskumných pracovníkov, a tým uplatňovať a dodržiavať zásady a podmienky ustanovené v smernici EÚ o práci na dobu určitú.

Financovanie a platy

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financovatelia výskumných pracovníkov by mali zabezpečiť, aby výskumní pracovníci využívali spravodlivé a atraktívne podmienky financovania a / alebo platy s primeranými a spravodlivými ustanoveniami o sociálnom zabezpečení (vrátane nemocenských a rodičovských dávok, dôchodkových práv a dávok v nezamestnanosti) v súlade s platnými vnútroštátnymi právnymi predpismi as vnútroštátne alebo odvetvové dohody o kolektívnom vyjednávaní. Musí to zahŕňať výskumných pracovníkov vo všetkých fázach kariéry, vrátane výskumných pracovníkov na začiatku štádia, zodpovedajúcich ich právnemu postaveniu, výkonnosti a úrovni kvalifikácie a / alebo zodpovednosti.
Rodová rovnosť
Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce subjekty by sa mali zamerať na reprezentatívnu rodovú rovnováhu na všetkých úrovniach zamestnancov, a to aj na úrovni dohľadu a manažmentu. To by sa malo dosiahnuť na základe politiky rovnosti príležitostí pri nábore a následných kariérnych stupňoch bez toho, aby mali prednosť pred kvalitatívnymi a kompetentnými kritériami. Na zabezpečenie rovnakého zaobchádzania by výberové a hodnotiace výbory mali mať primeranú rodovú rovnováhu.

Rozvoj kariéry

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financovatelia výskumných pracovníkov by mali v rámci svojho riadenia ľudských zdrojov vypracovať osobitnú stratégiu kariérneho rastu pre výskumných pracovníkov vo všetkých fázach svojej kariéry bez ohľadu na ich zmluvnú situáciu vrátane výskumných pracovníkov na dobu určitú. Mala by zahŕňať aj dostupnosť mentorov, ktorí sa podieľajú na poskytovaní podpory a usmernení pre osobný a profesionálny rozvoj výskumných pracovníkov, čím ich motivujú a prispievajú k znižovaniu akejkoľvek bezpečnosti v ich profesionálnej budúcnosti. Všetci vedci by mali byť oboznámení s týmito ustanoveniami a opatreniami.

Hodnota mobility

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov musia uznať hodnotu geografickej, medzisektorovej, interdisciplinárnej a transdisciplinárnej a virtuálnej mobility, ako aj mobilitu medzi verejným a súkromným sektorom ako dôležitý prostriedok na posilnenie vedeckých poznatkov a profesionálneho rozvoja v ktoromkoľvek štádiu výskumu kariéry. Preto by mali tieto možnosti stavať do špecifickej stratégie kariérneho rastu a plne oceňovať a uznávať akékoľvek skúsenosti s mobilitou v rámci svojho systému kariérneho postupu / hodnotenia. To tiež vyžaduje, aby sa v súlade s vnútroštátnymi právnymi predpismi zaviedli potrebné administratívne nástroje, ktoré umožnia prenosnosť grantov aj ustanovení o sociálnom zabezpečení.

Prístup k odbornému vzdelávaniu a neustálemu rozvoju

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov by mali zabezpečiť, aby všetci výskumní pracovníci v ktorejkoľvek fáze svojej kariéry, bez ohľadu na ich zmluvnú situáciu, dostali príležitosť na profesionálny rozvoj a zlepšenie ich zamestnateľnosti prostredníctvom prístupu k opatreniam na ďalší rozvoj zručností a kompetencií. Takéto opatrenia by sa mali pravidelne hodnotiť z hľadiska ich dostupnosti, využitia a účinnosti pri zlepšovaní kompetencií, zručností a zamestnateľnosti.

Prístup ku kariérovému poradenstvu

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov by mali zabezpečiť, aby sa kariérové poradenstvo a pomoc pri umiestňovaní pracovných miest buď v príslušných inštitúciách, alebo prostredníctvom spolupráce s inými štruktúrami ponúkali výskumníkom vo všetkých fázach ich kariéry bez ohľadu na ich zmluvnú situáciu.
Práva duševného vlastníctva
Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie by mali zabezpečiť, aby výskumníci vo všetkých štádiách kariéry využívali výhody ich výsledkov výskumu a vývoja (ak nejaké) prostredníctvom právnej ochrany a najmä prostredníctvom vhodnej ochrany práv duševného vlastníctva vrátane autorských práv. Politiky a postupy by mali špecifikovať, aké práva patria výskumným pracovníom a / alebo prípadne ich zamestnávateľom alebo iným stranám, vrátane externých obchodných alebo priemyselných organizácií, ako to prípadne vyplýva zo špecifických dohôd o spolupráci alebo iných typov dohôd.

Spoluautorstvo

Spoluautorstvo by mali inštitúcie hodnotiť pozitívne pri hodnotení zamestnancov ako dôkaz konštruktívneho prístupu k vykonávaniu výskumu. Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov by preto mali vypracovať stratégie, postupy a procesy, ktoré poskytnú výskumným pracovníkom vrátane výskumníkov na začiatku ich výskumnej kariéry potrebné rámcové podmienky, aby mohli využívať právo byť uznaní a vymenovaní a / alebo citovaní v kontextu ich skutočných príspevkov ako spoluautorov dokumentov, patentov atď., alebo publikovať svoje vlastné výsledky výskumu nezávisle od svojich nadriadených.
Dozor
Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov by mali zabezpečiť, aby osoba bola jasne identifikovaná, na koho sa výskumní pracovníci v ranom štádiu môžu odvolávať na plnenie svojich pracovných povinností, a mali by o tom informovať výskumných pracovníkov. Takéto opatrenia by mali zabezpečiť, že navrhované orgány dohľadu sú dostatočne odborne zdatné v oblasti dohľadu nad výskumom, majú čas, vedomosti, skúsenosti, odborné znalosti a odhodlanie poskytnúť výskumnému stážistovi primeranú podporu a zabezpečiť potrebné postupy pokroku a preskúmania, ako aj potrebné mechanizmy spätnej väzby.
Výučba
Výučba je základným prostriedkom na štruktúrovanie a disemináciu, a preto by sa mala považovať za hodnotnú voľbu v rámci kariérneho postupu výskumných pracovníkov. Povinnosti v oblasti výučby by však nemali byť neprimerané a nemali by zabraňovať výskumným pracovníkom, najmä na začiatku ich kariéry, pri vykonávaní svojich výskumných činností. Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie by mali zabezpečiť, aby boli výučbové povinnosti primerane odmeňované a zohľadňované v hodnotení / hodnotiacich systémov a že čas venovaný staršími zamestnancami školeniu začínajúcich výskumných pracovníkov by sa mal počítať ako súčasť ich učiteľského záväzku. Vzdelávacie a koučingové činnosti by mali byť súčasťou odborného vzdelávania výskumných pracovníkov.

Systémy ocenienia / hodnotenia

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo poskytovatelia finančných prostriedkov by mali zaviesť pre všetkých výskumníkov, vrátane vysokoškolských výskumných pracovníkov, systémy hodnotenia / hodnotenia na pravidelné a transparentné hodnotenie ich odbornej výkonnosti nezávislým (a v prípade vedúcich výskumných pracovníkov, prednostne medzinárodný) výbor. Takéto postupy ocenenia a hodnotenia by mali náležite zohľadňovať celkovú výskumnú kreativitu a výsledky výskumu, napr. publikácií, patentov, riadenia výskumu, výučby / prednášok, dohľadu, mentoringu, národnej alebo medzinárodnej spolupráce, administratívnych povinností, činností zameraných na informovanie verejnosti a mobility a mali by sa brať do úvahy v súvislosti s kariérnym postupom.

Sťažnosti / odvolania

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie výskumných pracovníkov by mali v súlade s vnútroštátnymi predpismi a nariadeniami zaviesť vhodné postupy, pravdepodobne vo forme nestrannej (ombudsmanovej) osoby, ktorá by riešila sťažnosti / odvolania výskumných pracovníkov vrátane tých, ktoré sa týkajú konfliktov medzi školiteľmi a výskumníkmi v rannom štádiu. Takéto postupy by mali poskytovať všetkým výskumným pracovníkom dôvernú a neformálnu pomoc pri riešení konfliktov, sporov a sťažností súvisiacich s prácou s cieľom podporiť čestné a spravodlivé zaobchádzanie v rámci inštitúcie a zlepšiť celkovú kvalitu pracovného prostredia.

Účasť v rozhodovacích orgánoch

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financovatelia výskumných pracovníkov by ju mali považovať za úplne legitímnu a naozaj žiaducu, aby boli výskumní pracovníci zastúpení v príslušných informačných, konzultačných a rozhodovacích orgánoch inštitúcií, pre ktoré pracujú, aby chránili a podporovali ich individuálne a kolektívne záujmy ako profesionáli a aktívne prispievali k fungovaniu inštitúcie.

Nábor pracovníkov

Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financujúce organizácie by mali zabezpečiť, aby boli jasne špecifikované vstupné a prijímacie štandardy pre výskumných pracovníkov, najmä na začiatku ich kariéry, a aby takisto uľahčili prístup znevýhodneným skupinám alebo výskumným pracovníkom, ktorí sa vrátili do výskumnej kariéry vrátane učiteľov akejkoľvek úrovni) vrátiť sa k výskumnej kariére. Zamestnávatelia a / alebo financovatelia výskumných pracovníkov by mali pri vymenúvaní alebo prijímaní výskumných pracovníkov dodržiavať zásady stanovené v Kódexe správania pre nábor výskumných pracovníkov.

Kontaktný formulár EURAXESS - European Commission

Slovenská republika dlhodobo zaostáva za ostatnými krajinami v zapájaní sa do aktivít európskeho výskumného priestoru (ERA), a to najmä do projektov rámcových programov EÚ. Nedostatočná medzinárodná spolupráca má negatívny vplyv na kvalitu národného výskumu. Za tento nelichotivý stav môže viacero faktorov. Medzi najhlavnejšie však patria výška výdajov na výskum a vývoj (porovnanie SR s členskými krajinami EÚ a v rámci OECD) a kvalita vzdelávacieho systému.

 

Centrum vedecko-technických informácií SR sa rozhodlo podporiť medzinárodnú spoluprácu okrem iného aj prostredníctvom vytvorenia siete slovenských výskumníkov pôsobiacich v zahraničí. V rámci projektu SK4ERA je pripravená séria nástrojov, ktoré by mali uľahčiť interakciu s prostredím vedy a inovácií na Slovensku. Využívanie týchto nástrojov zlepší spoluprácu medzi inštitúciami a výskumníkmi v zahraničí.

 

Pilotnou aktivitou je v tomto smere špecializovaná mentoringová schéma SK4ERA, ktorá má zvýšiť účasť Slovenska v rámcovom programe Horizont 2020/ Horizont Európa. Na ňu teraz nadväzujeme vytvorením registra vedcov pôsobiacich v zahraničí - Alumni, ktorý môže poslúžiť aj ako zdroj kontaktov pre honorovaný mentoring riešiteľov projektov. Zároveň sa tak vytvorí databáza potenciálnych rečníkov na podujatiach v Slovenskej republike a v zahraničí, z ktorého budú môcť čerpať ostatné verejné výskumné inštitúcie, univerzity i odborná verejnosť. Hlavným cieľom ALUMNI DATABÁZY, ktorá zoskupuje slovenských vedcov pôsobiacich v zahraničí, je zvýšiť účasť Slovenska v projektoch medzinárodnej spolupráce.

 

Prihlásiť sa do databázy Alumni SK4ERA môžete vyplnením tohto formulára. 

 

Prihlásením do Alumni SK4ERA môžete získať následovné benefity:

  • možnosť poskytovať honorovaný mentoring pre žiadateľov o grant v programe Horizont 2020
  • pool rečníkov na podujatiach organizovaných na pôde CVTI SR alebo v styčnej kancelárii SLORD v Bruseli
  • sprostredkovanie matchmakingu s relevantnými domácimi aktérmi
  • poskytnutie zázemia a priestorov CVTI SR za účelom zorganizovania matchmakingu, alebo iného podujatia

 

A čo si o tejto iniciatíve myslia tí, ktorých sa to týka, teda samotní vedci? Odpovedali nám Viera Kováčová, bio informatička pôsobiaca na Univerzite v Kolíne nad Rýnom, Lucia Bialešová, ktorá pôsobí ako Research Scientist v ATXA Therapeutics Limited a Jana Laláková, In situ seq facility manager v CARTANA. Všetky 3 vedkyne sú súčasne ambasádorkami iniciatívy Žijem vedu.

 

Prečo si myslíte, že Alumni databáza je dôležitá?

 

V.K.: Som bioinformatička, na Slovensku som nikdy neštudovala ani nepracovala. Bioinformatika je bežne vyučovaná na univerzitách v USA od 90. rokov, u nás je ešte stále v plienkach a nie je možné v nej obdržať Mgr., ani PhD, titul. Tzv. big data nám umožňujú učiť sa z minulosti a predikovať budúcnosť, vyriešiť podstatu mnohých ochorení a vystavať podklady pre wet-lab biológov na riešenie hlavných otázok mnohých projektov. Prostredníctvom databázy Alumni som ochotná zdieľať svoje vedomosti a nadväzovať nové profesijné známosti, ako i uvažovať nad spoločným projektom.

L.B.: Databáza Alumni je výborný nápad ako rozšíriť povedomie o vedkyniach a vedcoch pôsobiacich mimo SR a ako zvýšiť ich spoluprácu s domácimi kolegami. Na viacerých univerzitách v zahraničí podobný nástroj bežne funguje. Kontakty z databázy sú využívané na mentoring, couching a na získavanie informácii o akademických podmienkach v prípade záujmu práce/ štúdia na danej univerzite. Osobne si myslím, že je žiadúce a ukáže sa byť prospešné, vytvoriť jednu spoločnú sieť kontaktov aj na Slovenku.

J.L.: V zahraničí žije podľa oficiálnych údajov 300000 Slovákov. Nemáme vôbec predstavu, akú časť predstavujú slovenskí vedci, ktorí vycestovali zo Slovenska za účelom získavania skúsenosti v medzinárodných tímoch. Alumni databáza môže výrazne pomôcť pri získavaní týchto informácii. My vedci často chodíme na konferencie, workshopy a stáže do miest, kde sme nikdy predtým neboli a nikoho tam nepoznáme. Je preto vždy prijemné zistiť, že tam budú aj iní Slováci a len tak sa nezáväzne stretnúť a porozprávať.

 

Je podľa vás mentoring užitočný?

 

L.B.:  Aktívna účasť na mentoringu by mala byť v dnešnej dobe bežnou praxou pre vedcov aj študentov. Ja osobne som ako študentka veľakrát tápala v tom, na koho sa môžem obrátiť a požiadať o pomoc alebo nejakú radu. Počas môjho pôsobenia v Štokholme a neskôr aj v Dubline som sa zúčastnila niekoľkých kariérne zameraných workshopov a vždy som sa stretla s ľuďmi ochotnými so mnou otvorene diskutovať, čo mi pomohlo v mojich ďalších rozhodnutiach.

V.K.: Mentoring som absolvovala v Nemecku v roku 2017. Moja mentorka bola prof. Jane Parker z Inštitútu Maxa Plancka pre výskum šľachtenia rastlín v Kolíne nad Rýnom. Bolo to skvelé. Načerpala som množstvo inšpirácie, prenieslo sa na mňa kvantum entuziazmu od špičkovej vedkyne a dostala som množstvo rád. V rámci všeobecnej časti som sa dozvedela o kultúrnych a povahových rozdieloch rozmanitého spektra spolupracovníkov, príznakoch depresie a clivosti po domove, kariérnych možnostiach a ako balansovať pracovný a osobný život. Veľmi užitočný bol aj „couching“ od lektoriek špecializujúcich sa na body-language, prácu s hlasom, ako prednášať na medzinárodných konferenciách, ako písať granty, ako povedať NIE a ako vyjednávať počas rokovaní o pracovnej zmluve.

J.L.: Mentoring je podľa mňa v dnešnej dobe dôležitý v každej profesii, ale pre vedcov je to nevyhnutnosť. Ja som sa osobne zúčastnila na niekoľkých kurzoch ohľadne písania grantových žiadostí, prezentácie vedeckých výsledkov, vystupovania a komunikácie. Naučila som sa, že nielen obsah, ale aj forma musia byt na top úrovni. Ak sa podobne podujatia začnú vo veľkom organizovať aj na Slovensku, budú mat šancu sa posunúť ďalej nielen jednotlivci, ale cela slovenská veda.

Offer Description

Water shapes our blue planet, is life-enabling, and scientifically fascinating with a host of anomalous behaviours. When water is confined within nanometer-sized pores and cavities, wholly new and unexpected phenomena appear: water flows differently, its phase diagram changes drastically, and conventional theories break down. This is exciting from a scientific perspective, but also of great technological importance: nanoscale water is central to water purification and desalination, where water has to flow through nanopores, and for energy-related processes, e.g., hydrogen production.

In our project on nanoscale water, funded by the European Research Council with 10 million Euros, we aim to transform our understanding of nano-confined water. In collaboration with leading groups at Cambridge University and ENS Paris, we will develop new advanced spectroscopies and microscopies, based on ultrafast lasers, to ‘see‘ nanoscale water in action.

We have openings for PhD students, postdocs, and (largely independent) Group Leaders, and provide an inspiring and outstanding working environment.

Max Planck is an equal-opportunity employer. We prioritize diversity, are committed to creating an inclusive environment for everyone, and promote a culture of curiosity and creativity.

Applications in .pdf should include:

  1. A curriculum vitae,
  2. A brief letter of motivation (up to 1 page),
  3. The names and contact information of 2-3 persons who can serve as references.

Organisation/Company:        Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Research Field:                      Technology

Researcher Profile:                First Stage Researcher (R1)

Country:                                 Netherlands

Application Deadline:            31/05/2023 - 15:52 (UTC)

Offer Description

This PhD project focuses on integrated control strategy and maintenance policy design to assure reliable operation and high availability of ships powered by ammonia (NH3). Ammonia is one of the most promising hydrogen carriers and clean, alternative fuels for long-distance shipping and other maritime, or heavy-duty, applications. When produced from renewable power, ammonia could decarbonize shipping and thus help to achieve the goals of the Paris agreement to combat climate change.

In this PhD project, you will start from an innovative ammonia-fuelled power and propulsion system concept for ships utilising a combination of state-of-the-art Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology, i.e., the AmmoniaDrive concept. This system contains many non-proven subsystems in new configurations introducing the scientific challenges related to system diagnosis.

The aim of this PhD project is to investigate how automatic control strategies could ensure a high ship system performance under various operating conditions. This requires input from a large number of sensors installed on the system. At the same time, this sensor data will be used to diagnose the system and predict upcoming failures. These insights will, on the one hand, be used to plan maintenance activities (e.g. repair, replace parts) just-in-time, and on the other hand to feed the control system, allowing to adapt the system operational settings (e.g. to reduce the loads on specific parts) to the actual system condition. You will investigate the operational control challenges of the ship concept, for the ship system itself, as well as in relation to the direct surrounding waterway users. The link between operational decision making (during navigation) and decision making for maintenance (typically on a somewhat longer timescale) are hereby considered from an integrated perspective. Of particular importance hereby is how to control the system in unexpected situations involving, e.g., sensor or actuator malfunctioning or unexpected movements of other waterway users.

The key challenges that we will address are:

  • How can the real-time dynamics of the ammonia-powered ship system best be (mathematically) captured, keeping in mind the trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity?
  • How does quality and availability of (sensor) data affect the capability to improve the dynamic models representing the ship system, or to identify emerging faults and risks?
  • What architecture for large-scale interconnected systems is most suitable for control of the ammonia-powered ship system, and for shaping of its interaction with the other surrounding waterway users?
  • In which way can maintenance-awareness, fault-tolerance and potential near-future events information be encapsulated in the operational decision-making processes and the interaction with human operators?

This PhD project is hosted by the Dept. of Maritime & Transport Technology, TU Delft, and is part of the NWO AmmoniaDrive program. In this program universities and industry work together to achieve breakthroughs towards the transition towards a zero-emission maritime sector. During the project you will moreover directly interact with the researchers of the Researchlab Autonomous Shipping (RAS) at TU Delft.

Requirements

 
Specific Requirements

Candidates for this challenging project have an MSc degree and background in systems and control engineering, maintenance & operations, mathematical modelling, maritime technology, or related areas. Good communication and writing skills in English and the ability to collaborate are important.

Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis. For more details, please check the Graduate Schools Admission Requirements.

Additional Information

Benefits

Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2541 per month in the first year to € 3247 in the fourth year.

Are you a eager to push optical atomic clocks and atom interferometers to new levels in a lively, international research group?

Our Strontium Quantum Gases Group is looking for a postdoc who wants to take part in leading the new Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) Ultracold Quantum Sensing Testbed. This group is headed by Prof. Florian Schreck and is part of the Quantum Gases & Quantum Information (QG&QI) cluster at the Institute of Physics (IoP) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). We exploit ultracold Sr gases for quantum sensing, the study of many-body physics and for quantum computing. We are collaborating with industry, startups and users to bring optical clocks to the market and explore new ways to build sensors, such as superradiant clocks or atom interferometers based on continuous atom lasers.

What are you going to do?

You are given the opportunity to take a leading role in the establishment and running of the QDNL Ultracold Quantum Sensing Testbed. This testbed focuses on following activities, in close collaboration with all research projects in our group (see www.strontiumBEC.com).

Job description

PhD researcher on real-time digital signal processing for distributed multi-user massive MIMO systems

Summary
To strengthen our design team, this vacancy is looking for a strong research profile on real-time digital signal processing for wireless applications on FPGA and ASIC in the context of distributed massive MIMO communication systems. This PhD candidate will work on algorithms, designs, system prototyping, and experiments for next generation radio access networks.

Background

The Internet Technology & Data Science Lab (IDLab) is an imec research group at Ghent University and the University of Antwerp. IDLab focuses its research on internet technologies and data science. Within IDLAB, the Design team is internationally recognized as a leading research group on high-speed and high-frequency integrated circuits for next-generation communications systems. At this moment, the Design group is for example active in eight European projects and in direct research contracts with world-leading industry partners. Besides these high-profile projects, the Design group is also a core partner in the ERC Atto project of Prof. Piet Demeester. These roadmaps form the perfect basis for high-level and industry-relevant research in an environment with expert peers and top-notch test and measurement equipment.
The main research lines focus on wired (fiber-optic, radio-over-fiber, copper), wireless (RF, 5G-6G, mmWave) and instrumentation for which custom CMOS or SiGe BiCMOS chips are developed and integrated in (FPGA-based) system demonstrators.

Next generation wireless communication systems targeting industrial applications demand extremely high reliability. One of the ways to realize this is by deploying a very large number of remote radio nodes that cooperate together. However, this approach puts a very high load on the fronthaul network connecting these nodes: synchronization between different nodes should be very tight (a few degrees phase accuracy, 100 ps timing accuracy). The bandwidth of the system should remain controllable. The latter implies that part of the signal processing needs to be performed distributed in the fronthauling network. To address these challenges, the Design group is looking for PhD researchers to investigate novel scalable radio access architectures and real-time signal processing solutions.

Your profile:

  • You need to hold a relevant master’s degree (e.g., Master of Science in Electronics Engineering, Master of Science in Information and Communication Technology, …) with demonstrated first-class performance (e.g., outstanding grades, thesis result, or publications).
  • You can demonstrate mastery of the following core aspects:
    • o Digital design skills: RTL design and knowledge of Verilog / VHDL.
    • o Knowledge about wireless PHY, OFDM modulation and detection
    • o Expertise on synthesis and place and routing and digital implementation tools such as Xilinx Vivado / Cadence Xrun / Candence Innovus are a plus.
  • You are a team player with good networking and reporting skills.

Job profile

Job Offer

We offer a fully funded PhD position to do full-time research in a highly international and friendly working environment, with a competitive salary at Ghent University. As a researcher you will publish and present your research results at major international conferences and in scientific journal in order to pursue your PhD degree.
Typical research projects in the Design group involve multiple researchers with different specialties working as a team, stimulating knowledge creation across different domains. Further, we offer the possibility to follow various advanced training courses in Belgium or abroad.
After initiation in the field, you will perform research on real-time signal processing algorithms which will be implemented and demonstrated on our distributed massive MIMO testbed, consisting at the moment of 64 synchronously interconnected antennas, high-end FPGAs. After verification in the testbed, implementation in the in-house developed fronthaul ASICs will be considered.

How to apply

Offer Description

This is a joint PhD project offered by the actuarial science research groups at KU Leuven and University of Melbourne. This vacancy applies to the PhD position with Leuven as home institution. The PhD candidate will visit the University of Melbourne during minimum 24 months.

The insurance industry faces fundamental changes that will not be tackled by incremental improvements of existing techniques, but call for entirely new insurance pricing paradigms. The dynamics of emerging risks such as cyber and weather related risks need to be handled with little or no past data. At the same time, for more traditional covers the wealth of data that is collected now presents new challenges (e.g., computational or ethical) and opportunities (e.g., statistical power). Bringing together the Leuven-based expertise on machine learning practice for insurance data with the knowledge on stochastic processes, behavioral data and dependencies from the Melbourne team, this PhD project will focus on:

  1. formulas for discrimination-free insurance pricing;
  2. predictive modeling tools for the actuarial valuation of emerging risks; and
  3. the creation of data analytic tools for a customer-centric, usage based insurance paradigm that bundles selected products and even services.

Differential pricing is a foundation of modern-day insurance and deals with the actuarial valuation of risk by calculating a fair price for a new policy sold to a given risk profile.  The so-called best estimate price   is calculated as the ‘expected frequency times expected impact’ of the insured event resulting from standard regression models (the generalized linear models, or GLMs) for claims data. These predictive models are key in a business that is highly regulated, strongly valuing the explainability of the algorithms driving decisions with impact on customers. After selling a contract to a client, the insurer is liable for the claims arising from this contract. Capital must be held to meet these future liabilities. Calculating the necessary amount of capital is the job of a reserving actuary. Even though these key actuarial tasks are treated in silos in current insurance practice and literature, reserving is the mere continuation of pricing. Whereas pricing happens at the onset of the insurance policy – before any coverage has been provided – reserving is, in some way, an updated pricing of the insurance policy. The pricing actuary values the total loss on a policy from ground-up, while the reserving actuary assesses the total loss in the presence of some (though incomplete) information on the development of occurred claims.

As such, we will design dynamic, responsive and resilient pricing and reserving techniques for traditional but also emerging risk types, including machine lear... For more information see https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60152921

Offer Description

This PHD position is part of a french ANR project, the PELICAN project : Optrodes for PhotoELectrochemICal ANalysis based on multimaterials fibers.
The development of miniaturized electrodes has been the subject of intense research for many years because of unique beneficial properties arising at small scales. In this context, the PELICAN project aims at developing miniaturized sensors based on multimaterials/multifunctional fibers as optrodes for photoelectrochemical analysis. The ultimate objective is the integration of all elements of an electrochemical cell within a unique instrument (e.g., a working photoelectrode, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode) to design a standalone, “fully-integrated” photoelectrochemical sensing system. The approach proposed by the PELICAN consortium is the realization of multifunctional fibers combining several materials such as glasses, metals, and/or polymers. Novel Stack and draw and 3D printing approaches will be deployed to reach the challenge of the multimaterial and multifunctional fiber fabrication. The optrodes will be manufactured by employing a photoactive semiconductor electrode integrated on multimaterial optical fibers.
The project brings together three partners: the V&C-ISCR (Rennes) and the ICMCB (Bordeaux) partners which have recognized skills in the elaboration of non-conventional glasses and fibers and multifunctional fibers respectively and the MaCSE-ISCR partner (Rennes), which has the required expertise in terms of deposition of oxide semiconductors and photoelectrochemistry.
The role of the PhD student in this project will be the production of the special glass preforms, the drawing of the multi-material fibres and their characterizations. In addition, the PhD student will be involved in the preliminary fabrication and characterizations of the optrodes by electrochemical means.

Offer Description

Mimosa Pudica moves its foliage when touched in less than a second by changing turgor pressure
in pulvinus cells. Pulvinus tissue consists of flexible thin-walled parenchyma cells organised around a core
of vascular pipes (xylem/phloem for water/sap transport), see fig 1. The selective change of cell turgor
pressure allows, for instance, the contraction of the upper pulvinus (flacid cells) and expansion (turgid cells)
of the lower one, achieving leaf motion by bending.
The PhD Thesis goal is to investigate actuator technology inspired from pulvinus: how does complex
motions emerge from a simple design but a complex pattern of cell pressure? Thin or bulky cell-piloted
actuators are expected to generate a large variety of motions depending on the applied pressure pattern.
The PhD candidate will leverage on a prototype of pulvinus tissue in 2D developed in the lab using micro-
pneumatics and silicone casting.
The Thesis has 3 goals:
1) Automatize cell pressure control using solenoid valves. [Skills: Python / Node-Red]
2) Create new prototypes (changing cell dimensions and material properties) [Skills: 3D printing,
silicone casting]
3) Design of an experimental bench to measure actuator motion. [Skills: image treatment / AI, Python,
Matlab]
4) Test the damage resilience of the pulvinus-inspired actuator.

PhD thesis offer is supported by ANR (French National Agency for research).

Offer Description

 

Mobility GT in an international post-doctoral programme involving 4 academic partners – it is coordinated by the Laboratory for Tribology and Interface Nanotechnology of the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) in cooperation with the University of Leeds (UK), Luleå University of Technology (Sweden) and University of Coimbra (Portugal) – and 50 associated partners, mainly from industry (e.g., Volvo, Scania, Oerlikon, SKF, Hidria, Kolektor, Mahle, Cummins, and others). The programme will host 24 post-doctoral researchers, each with a 3-year contract.

The programme will be realised in two calls for two cohorts of 12 postdocs each. Half the positions in each cohort will initially focus on fundamental nanoscale research (at the University of Ljubljana), with the other half working on macroscale, application-oriented tribology research of materials, surfaces, coatings, and lubrication at the (at the University of Leeds, Luleå University of Technology or the University of Coimbra). This will be followed by what will be an exciting, compulsory switch between the two length scales after 27 months (and includes a mandatory secondment at an intersectorial/industrial partner) as the “nanoscale” postdocs take what they have discovered to the macroscale, and the “macroscale” postdocs get the chance to look more deeply into their findings on the nanoscale. This means the postdocs will finish off with a 9-month academic sec­ondment to complement the main period of research.

The first call will be available on Jan 1st, 2023, with the submission of a post-doc project proposal in May 2023. After an international review, led by six high-profile tribologists (including three Tribology Gold Medallists), the winning proposals will be announced in August 2023. After the necessary administrative procedures for the winning proposals, the first 12 postdocs will start in January 2024. The whole procedure will then be repeated, to recruit the next cohort of 12 post-docs, who will start in January 2025.

Each post-doc can propose their own project with bottom-up ideas, but in agreement with the host university. So preliminary contacts and a discussion with provisional mentors are mandatory.

The Mobility GT post-docs, with their individual research projects, will be able to address major challenges in green tribology in the following research areas:

Nanoscale-based green lubrication and surface technology (Ljubljana)

Boundary films & tribochemical interfaces (Leeds)

Green lubrication for lightweight composites and lubrication modelling (Luleå)

Wear-resistant, low-friction, advanced surface coatings (Coimbra)

Several sub-areas have already been identified, leading to an initial, approximately 200 research directions being available to choose from, guided by 30 academic mentors, specialising in different research fields.

Offer Description

CYENS Centre of Excellence (formerly known as RISE) is the Research Centre of Excellence in Cyprus focusing on Interactive media, Smart systems and Emerging technologies aiming to empower knowledge and technology transfer in the region. It is a joint venture between the three public universities of Cyprus - University of Cyprus, Cyprus University of Technology, and Open University of Cyprus, the Municipality of Nicosia, and two renowned international partners, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany, and, the University College London, United Kingdom. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017 (Teaming Phase 2) under grant agreement No. 739578, as well as from the Cypriot Government, local and international partners, and other sponsors.

The Centre conducts excellent, internationally competitive scientific research in the areas of visual sciences, human factors and design, communication, and artificial intelligence delivered by high-calibre multidisciplinary research teams. CYENS engages in knowledge transfer and innovation activities aiming to bridge the gap between scientific research and STEM-led innovation and entrepreneurship.

The research focus of CYENS is on interactive media, smart systems, and emerging technologies. Interactive media have become an integral part of our lives, changing the way that information is conveyed to the user and the ways users interact with devices, with other people, and with the world around them. Smart systems have offered a novel way of producing automated solutions to hard problems for which the mere use of the human intellect is insufficient. Research in CYENS integrates the Visual Sciences, Human Factors & Design, and Communications & Artificial Intelligence, in a tight synergy that provides a unique interdisciplinary research perspective that emphasizes an “Inspired by Humans, Designed for Humans” philosophy. CYENS is designed to act as an integrator of academic research and industrial innovation, towards the sustainable fueling of the scientific, technological, and economic growth of Cyprus and Europe.

The successful candidate will conduct research as a part of the PEDESTRIAN project. The candidate will be working in the Socially Competent Robotic And Agent Technologies (SCRAT) MRG, under the supervision of Dr Loizos Michael and will collaborate closely with researchers from the Socially Competent Robotic and Agent Technologies (SCRAT) MRG. Possibility of additional engagement in other projects during the same period, and continuing engagement with the SCRAT MRG after the conclusion of the project.

The project seeks to develop a machine-mediated social interaction application for smart-devices that will allow citizens across Cyprus to reach out for help from others. Each user of the application will interact with the application in their language of choice. A user will be able to create written requests for information or help, and these will be sent by the underlying machine-mediated interaction protocol to other users of the platform who can contribute to the request. The interaction protocol is diversity-aware and is, thus, oblivious to the so-called shallow features of the profiles of the platform users (e.g., gender, age, religion, language). The proposed project will utilize the WeNet platform (https://internetofus.eu) and will further enhance its diversity-awareness by developing an automated translation process so that requests sent by one user will be delivered in the language of choice of each recipient of those requests. In doing so, the proposed project will facilitate the adoption of this technology in multilingual societies, such as that of Cyprus.

The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out the below duties and responsibilities:

  • Support with the development of the mobile app (Android, iOS, cross platform).
  • Develop technical specifications, perform code reviews, testing and debugging.
  • Development of documentation and design, and authoring of project reports.
  • Participate in dissemination activities to promote the adoption of the mobile app.

 

Required skills and qualifications

  1. Bachelor's degree and postgraduate degree in a relevant field (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Multimedia) from an accredited institution
  2. Experience in mobile app development (Android, iOS, cross platform).
