Hlavní účetní (m/ž) – Ref. No. 2026/12

Do našeho týmu v Ústavu informatiky AV ČR, v. v. i. hledáme zkušenou, samostatnou a detailně orientovanou kolegyni nebo kolegu na pozici Hlavní účetní.

Pro tuto pozici bude zajištěno řádné proškolení a systematické předání kompletní agendy stávající hlavní účetní s dlouholetou praxí, která před nastávajícím odchodem do důchodu provede kompletní předávku zpracovávaných agend (bude dočasně při zkráceném úvazku asistovat nové hlavní účetní).

Postdoctoral fellow in philosophical logic and the philosophy of logic - Ref. No. 2026/10

We seek a postdoctoral fellow to join the Czech Science Foundation project “Substitution in Material Inference and Logical Environments” (SIMILE), led by Dr. Wesley Fussner at the Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

SIMILE seeks to develop conceptual and mathematical-symbolic frameworks for understanding material inferences, which have emerged as a central topic inferentialist projects as in the work of Sellars, Brandom, and Peregrin, among others. One special focus of the project's work is substitution (and especially the failure of substitution invariance), which has long been known to play a central role in materiality. We are also interested in how materiality manifests in different reasoning contexts, such as in mathematical reasoning, and how materiality interacts with traditional concerns of metalogic.

Scientific position: Postdoctoral Fellow within the BRAINSCAPE project - Ref. No. 2026/9

Scientific position is available in the project “BRAINSCAPE: Cross-sectoral collaboration for the development of new technologies in psychiatry - precision medicine and new therapies” (OP JAK BRAINSCAPE) at the Institute of Computer Science, Prague (Czech Republic).

Within the BRAINSCAPE project, the ICS CAS will provide the necessary expertise in the analysis of complex data, including multimodal neuroimaging measurements, the use of information theory, nonlinear dynamic systems, network theory, statistics, and machine learning.

Junior Researchers: Postdoctoral Fellow, Graduate student or Research assistant in Computational Neuroscience within the BRADY project - Ref. No. 2025/11

Junior researcher positions are available in the Complex Networks and Brain Dynamics group (COBRA) at the Institute of Computer Science, Prague (Czech Republic). These positions are centered in the Research Work Package 1 of a larger, interdisciplinary consortium established for the OPJAK BRADY project. The relevant RWP1 aims to establish a family of generative models of graded complexity capturing brain dynamics that would:

• Approximate spatial patterns observed in resting state neuroimaging, including topology and topography of functional connectivity.
• Approximate temporal brain dynamics, including activity fluctuations, connectivity dynamics, and information flow.
• Provide an internally consistent unified account of electrophysiological and fMRI data, linking to biologically interpretable latent variables and structural connectivity.
• Allow predicting the effect of external stimulation, such as complex sensory and cognitive tasks, electric of magnetic stimulation, or pharmacological intervention.
• Allow capturing the key axes of inter-subject variability, linking it to psychometric data.
• Ultimately allow characterizing and predicting the trajectory of deviation from healthy brain dynamics in a range of psychiatric and neurological diseases.
