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.

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.

The proliferation of modern electronics, integrated circuits, microprocessors and communication and computer technology in general brings with it a high risk of disclosing critical information about the infrastructure in which these elements are used. In the extreme case, there may be a leak or takeover of administrative privileges, which can be misused for digital vandalism, disclosure of important information or attacks on the infrastructure itself. One of the very effective and difficult to detect methods of these attacks is the remote eavesdropping on information that is emanated from electronic devices in the form of electric or magnetic fields. With the development of inexpensive radio technology and as a result of readily available libraries and signal processing algorithms, such an attack may no longer be the sole domain of rich, state-sponsored organizations, but may gradually be adopted by the mainstream hacking community and misused for criminal purposes. The aim of this work is to explore the possibilities and develop and test light and flexible protective shields based on modern nanomaterials, which will serve as an effective passive protection of electronic devices against remote eavesdropping. For this purpose, new composite materials based on electrically conductive nanoparticles with magnetic properties will be prepared. The possibilities of their compatibility with the carrier, chemical structure and morphology, mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties and methods and the possibilities of their processing into the required shape and form suitable for use in miniature electronics will be studied. The experiments will also include testing passive shields in simulated and real conditions and evaluating their ability to dampen electromagnetic waves emitted by electronic devices.

Annotation
Interaction of ions and peptides with biological membranes is one of the most important biological processes in living organisms. Biological membranes, which are surrounding cytoplasm and keeping cell organelles separated from the external influence, are typically composed of various phospholipid bilayers and are impermeable for peptides and ions which is crucial for normal functioning of cells. However, some species, such as arginine rich peptides are capable to translocate across the bilayer into the cell interior and are often used in a controlled drug delivery. However, the mechanism of translocation is very obscure and not fully understood at the molecular level. Adsorption of ions and peptides to phospholipid bilayers is the first and essential part of the translocation mechanism, but the relevant physical properties of these interactions, such as binding constants of ions and peptides at various phospholipid bilayers, are also difficult to determine experimentally. In order to study the physical properties of the peptide/bilayer interactions at the molecular level, theoretical molecular dynamics simulations are frequently used since they are free of experimental bias. In this doctoral thesis, student will study adsorption and translocation of selected ions (such as Na+, Ca2+, K+, NH4+, Gdm+, Cl-) and peptides (such as Arg, Lys, poly-Arg, poly-Lys) at different phospholipids monolayers and bilayers (PC, PS, PG, PE, PC, BMP) using theoretical modeling with the state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulations. The goal of the thesis is to understand how ions and peptides interact with membranes and translocate across them. Specifically, the aim is to determine various physical parameters, such as ion/peptide binding constants, diffusion coefficients, Gibbs free energy barriers of translocation and other physico-chemical properties in turn clarifying the mechanistic details of membrane adsorption and translocation. Importantly, various parameters obtained from molecular dynamics simulations will be continuously compared to the available experimental data, with the aim of understanding membrane interactions and which is crucial for understanding and improving controlled drug delivery.

Annotation
The rapid advent of autonomous systems such as robotic assistants, drones or self-driving vehicles has inevitably brought with it an increase in the use of positioning devices, such as microwave sensors, or advanced lidar, radar or radio technology. This also increases the likelihood of the occurrence of undesired interferences of this electromagnetic wave with the integrated circuits of the autonomous device, which may in turn lead to an increased probability of the occurrence of dangerous phenomena, including accidents and loss of life. The aim of this work is therefore to develop new materials for the attenuation of electromagnetic interference and to apply them as protective shields in the operating area of the electromagnetic spectrum of existing positioning systems. The work will focus on the search, synthesis and characterization of suitable electrical and magnetic materials and their nanostructured analogues and the subsequent design, manufacture and testing of new lightweight and flexible shields. Part of the work will also be modelling and evaluation of the shielding efficiency of protective shields in simulated and real conditions of operation of autonomous systems.

Annotation
Tactile temperature or pressure sensors are devices used in robotics to evaluate the robot's interaction with other objects. These include, for example, manipulating an object, measuring the slip of a gripped object, determining the coordinates of the position of the object or measuring the magnitude of the force acting on the object. The extreme case is complex tactile systems, the purpose of which is to simulate and replace human touch. The sensors used for these purposes must be sufficiently miniature, sensitive to small changes in pressure, must have favorable dynamic properties and time and operational stability of the parameters. Due to the expected high density of tactile sensors connected in simple applications, there must be the possibility of their operation in the form of sensor arrays and data processing using advanced mathematical and statistical algorithms. Last but not least, the cost of producing them must be reasonable so that they can be easily replaced in the event of wear. The aim of this work is therefore to develop new types of tactile temperature and pressure sensors based on modern nanomaterials, which can be used in experiments with the measurement of temporally and spatially distributed forces acting on the matrix of sensors. Part of the work will be the preparation, characterization and processing of thermoelectric and piezoresistive materials based on organic nanostructured semiconductors and carbon nanostructures. Testing of these substances will include, inter alia, structural, chemical and mechanical analysis and measurement of electrical properties in both direct and alternating electric fields. Selected materials will then be processed into sensitive sensors. Part of this work will also be the design of sensor arrays and their testing and signal processing using advanced algorithms.

Annotation
The controlled transport of cargo into cells is vital for life-sustaining. Alongside the active ATP-driven process of endocytosis, which plays a pivotal role in the transport of cargo across membranes, there is another promising method known as direct passive energy-independent translocation, which is particularly relevant for controlled drug delivery. Short, positively charged cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are commonly utilized vectors for this purpose. This multidisciplinary project seeks to explore the mechanism of passive translocation of CPPs at the molecular level through advanced molecular simulations and complementary single-molecule fluorescence experiments. The major focus of this project will be on understanding crucial steps in this process, including adsorption, aggregation, and translocation across advanced model membrane systems. The insights gained from this investigation will lay the groundwork for designing smarter drug delivery systems by identifying crucial molecular interactions during the transport of matter across biological membranes. ) ) [sablona] => stdClass Object ( [class] => stranka [html] => [css] => [js] => [autonomni] => 1 ) [api_suffix] => druh/I/jazyk/en/locale/en/ustav/446 )
