This list will be updated.
Join Us
The ICS and the Czech Academy of Sciences regularly open calls for postdoctoral researchers, and tenure-track positions are opened on a yearly basis at the ICS. Let us know if you are interested in applying.
Current calls:
- Postdoctoral researcher within the TRUST project (work package Logical aspects of rationality and knowledge). Deadline: 31 March 2025.
- Postdoctoral researcher within the TRUST project (work package Logical analysis of language and communication). Deadline: 31 March 2025.
- Postdoctoral researcher within the DEZINFO project (work package Non-classical logics of disinformation). Deadline: 31 March 2025.
- Tenure track in computer science. Deadline: 31 March 2025.
The ICS welcomes applications within international schemes such as the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Applications are particularly encouraged since the government of the Czech Republic supports no-money MSCA-PF projects. Another funding option are the Individual Postdoctoral Fellowships of the Czech Science Foundation. Do get in touch if you're interested in applying.
Teaching and Supervision
Members of the group offer supervision of Master and PhD theses focusing on their research topics. We can serve as supervisors and co-supervisors for students based at universities in and outside the Czech Republic. Get in touch if you're interested in writing your thesis with us.

- Giorgio Cignarale (co-supervised by Roman Kuznets at TU Wien)
- Filip Jankovec (co-supervised by Petr Cintula)
- Chun-Yu Lin (supervised by Marta Bílková)
- Rojo Randrianomentsoa (co-supervised by Roman Kuznets at TU Wien)
- Thomas Schlögl (co-supervised by Roman Kuznets at TU Wien)
