Junior Researcher in Theoretical Study of High-Entropy Oxides

This internship at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology at Masaryk University offers students the opportunity to take part in research on advanced materials, with a focus on high-entropy oxides (HEOs).HEOs combine multiple metal elements into a single stable crystal lattice and exhibit exceptional electrochemical properties. These materials are promising candidates for anodes in…

Intern for Experimental Functionalization of Polymers Using Atmospheric Plasma

This internship at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology at Masaryk University offers students the opportunity to take part in hands-on research focused on surface modification of polymer materials using low-temperature atmospheric-pressure plasma.Plasma treatment—used, for example, in printing, lamination, or coating—is a modern and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical methods in fields like electronics,…

Internship in Biosensor Technologies for Field Applications

At the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, we focus on developing a new generation of affinity biosensors capable of reliably analyzing complex biological samples directly in the field.We combine optical and piezoelectric detection systems with the latest approaches in microfluidics and additive manufacturing to create…

Studying Life at the Level of Individual Molecules

At our Dioscuri Centre team at FZU of the CAS, we develop cutting-edge microscopes that allow us to observe individual biomolecules in real time and in their natural state – without the need for fluorescent labeling. Our focus is on seeing and understanding what happens inside cells and molecular systems that form the basis of…

Junior Biophysicist

Cytoskeleton Remodeling as a Potential Regulator of Metabolic Rewiring in Liver Cancer Cells Emerging evidence has revealed that physical stimuli from the cellular microenvironment play a crucial role in transmitting mechanical signals that regulate key cellular functions such as proliferation, migration, and malignant transformation [1-3]. It is now clear that tumor cells are subjected to…

Diagnostics of Reactive Plasma Using a Planar High-Frequency Probe During the Deposition of Layers with Antiviral Effects

As part of the internship, the student will be involved in the research of plasma deposition of crystalline CuFeO2 layers with antiviral effects. The deposition of CuFeO2 layers will be carried out using the method of reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering with an additional high-frequency inductively coupled plasma operating in resonance with the electron cyclotron wave.…

Ph.D. thesis: Study of the influence of transients phenomena in piezoceramics in terms of fracture-mechanical response

The aim of this work is to determine and explain the change in mechanical behaviour due to transients with emphasis on the fracture mechanical response in selected lead-free piezioceramics. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be to study the mechanical and fracture behaviour of piezoceramics (for example BTO, BTZC, etc.) during its transition…

Ph.D. thesis: Microscopic processes at the fatigue crack tip

Fatigue crack growth is a process that is described macroscopically by quantities such as the stress intensity factor, J-integral or plastic part of the J-integral. There are many models of crack propagation at the microscopic level that consider plastic deformation around the crack tip, but which differ in details. Advances in experimental methods allow more…

Ph.D. thesis: Development of hybrid composites compensating shrinkage at pyrolysis

This work aims to design and describe suitable methods of shrinkage compensation and/or control for the preparation of matrix composites and their effect on microstructural changes and fracture behaviour of hybrid composite materials containing such adapted matrix and ceramic fibres. The main goal of the doctoral thesis will be the design and characterization of hybrid…
