Three (3) PhD Positions in Teacher Education, Masaryk University, Czech Republic (2016)

The Masaryk University is offering three positions for Early Stage Researchers within the EDiTE project. Applicants interested in applying for Early Stage Researcher positions at MU will need to fulfill requirements and submit application documents specified on the EDiTE project website www.edite.eu. In addition to the three ESR, we are planning to admit additional applicants into the program who will not be employed by MU under ESR contracts, but who will be able to participate in the MU EDiTE doctoral studies.

1) Early Stage Researcher: S/he shall, at the time of recruitment by the host university, be in her/his first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree.
What does that mean? After you have obtained your Master’s degree (or equivalent) which entitles you to embark on a doctorate, your research experience (full-time/part-time) must not sum up to more than four years.

2) Mobility Rule: At the time of recruitment by the host university, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host university for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior March 1st 2016. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.
What does that mean? Unless you have carried out your main activities for less than 12 month in the country of the host university, you must be willing to move to the country of the host university to take up the researcher position. A monthly allowance (€600) will be paid in addition to the salary to support your mobility, and an additional monthly allowance (€500) will be paid, if you have a family.

Each university has to submit for the applicants that are going to be employed a signed declaration to the EU that the applicants are eligible. Therefore, the EDiTE-EJD project will offer the positions only to those applicants that are eligible beyond doubt. Please, make sure to provide during the application process the relevant documents that prove your eligibility.

You do not fulfill the eligibility requirements? Please contact info@edite.eu before submitting an application.
