[obsah] => What is onboarding?
Onboarding is a key process of integrating new employees into the organisation, thereby enhancing both their professional, social, cultural and organisational integration. As a result, employees feel welcomed as part of the organisation and better prepared for the tasks ahead of them. The sooner the new employee feels welcome and fully informed, the better and quicker they will be able to contribute to the organisation successfully.
Onboarding procedures are common in the private sector but often absent in academic institutions. In particular for newly hired Early Career Researchers (ECR), namely PhD candidates, such procedures will strongly impact both their integration into the organisation and clarification of roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders involved in their programme. In order to maximize their impact, it is therefore important that onboarding procedures are approved and supported by supervisors and Postgraduate offices. While it has been shown that successful onboarding contributes to increased well-being and motivation, many ECRs often feel somewhat lost and poorly supported when entering academia, leading to doubt, insecurity and sometimes even an early abandonment of their research project.
UCT and onboarding
In collaboration with the PRIDE network (Professionals in Doctoral Education), a working group was formed with the aim of drafting a publication on onboarding, focusing for the first time on doctoral candidates and postdocs and their adaptation process at the university.
UCT Prague initially launched an extensive questionnaire to assess awareness of onboarding, whether and how many people have encountered it, and what they would welcome within the academic environment. After evaluating the questionnaire, meetings were held in the private sector with HR professionals. We wanted to verify how onboarding is conducted in private companies and how we can leverage their know-how and experiences in our context.
The collected materials and interviews with HR professionals were used to create an adaptation plan, which was piloted from September 2023 at three institutes of UCT Prague. The resulting adaptation plan, which is part of this page, will serve the needs of UCT Prague supervisors who work with newly hired doctoral candidates. Furthermore, the adaptation plan will be utilized for the PRIDE network publication, serving as a foundation for other European universities.

[obsah] => What is a “Double-Degree” programme?
It is doctoral study programme that is leading to two diplomas from both home university as well as partner university. Student works on one dissertation, the study programmes are fully integrated between collaborating universities and include specialized courses at home university and one interdisciplinary at partner university.
Each successful applicant signs individual contract about doctoral double degree based on his/her particular situation (research area, supervisor’s requirements, home university requirements etc.). The contract is signed between UCT Prague and student’s home university.
Requirements for doctoral double degree contract:
- Student has to agree with two supervisors – one from the home university, one from UCT Prague
- Student has to be accepted by his/her supervisor to PhD studies at UCT Prague
- Student has to be accepted to PhD studies at his/her home university
- UCT Prague and student’s home university have to have a joint double degree study programme (list of offered programmes below)
Contact persons at UCT Prague
First contact (study matter) - Contact person of each double degree study programme.
Second contact (general matter, information about the application proceedings)– Department of International Relations: international@vscht.cz
Finances
In terms of cooperation with partner universities no tuition is required. Students are expected to cover any additional costs themselves.
What are the advantages?
Besides improved employability of graduates, there is emphasis on research activity coupled with a possibility to lead small research groups. The program inherently strengthens professional language knowledge. There are possibilities to gain practical skills thanks to cooperation with partner companies such as Zentiva, Zeva, Contipro, Lonza Biotec or in practically oriented departments of Czech Academy of Sciences, where are practical traineeships available. Last but not least there is excellent support of students, including motivational scholarships.
Double degree programmes offered
There are 8 programmes at 4 faculties
FCT – Faculty of Chemical Technology
FET – Faculty of Environmental Technology
FBT – Faculty of Food and Biochemical Technology
FCE – Faculty of Chemical Engineering

Annotation
Our group recently described the development and first applications of N1-alkyl-1,2,4-triazinium salts in bioorthogonal reactions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2023, e202306828). In this project, we want to explore the chemistry of these charged heterodienes in more detail. In addition, we want to apply the developed reagents in applications ranging from selective modification of biomolecules to cellular applications (e.g. bioimaging). The project combines synthetic organic chemistry, reaction kinetics and stability studies with biological experiments that will be performed mainly in collaboration with biologists in the group.

Annotation
We will design and synthesize modified ribonucleoside triphosphates bearing diverse functional groups at nucleobase. These nucleotides will be used for sequence-specific enzymatic synthesis of oligoribonucleotides (RNA) bearing labels or modifications at specific positions using engineered DNA polymerases. The applications will include tRNA, mRNA, sgRNA etc. References: 1. Micura, R.; Höbartner, C. Fundamental studies of functional nucleic acids: aptamers, riboswitches, ribozymes and DNAzymes. Chem.
