At Mount Alexander College our vision is to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment that empowers students to direct their own learning. We endeavour to create a school that remains connected and engaged with the community and caters for all kinds of success. Finally, we aim to help students reach their full potential as global citizens who, with integrity, can positively contribute to the world. OUR VISION IN THE CLASSROOM In fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for our students we must know them, their strengths and their areas for improvement. We use formative assessment to guide our instruction and empower students to direct our instructional choices. Learning at MAC is collaborative, both peer to peer but also students and teachers work together to negotiate the best learning pathway. Our students are connected to each other and the broader world, both through their use of digital technologies and in their access to a global perspective in all their classes. Our classes draw on local expertise and community engagement where possible to allow our students to see how the learning in the classroom relates to their everyday lives. Our students understand themselves as learners, they are informed about their progress, how they have improved and what they need to do further to continue to improve.

Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team to support student with various academic, behavioural and wellbeing needs. Role Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs. Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management. The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations. This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management. An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher. Responsibilities Take operational responsibility for all aspects of the International Student Program (ISP) for full fee paying and exchange students, including sourcing homestay placements, airport pickups, enrolment processes for both English language schools and Mount Alexander College (MAC), student welfare and orientation, both pre and post arrival. Conduct school orientation program. Regularly monitor overseas student attendance, check academic performance and organise translations of reporting documents. Support international students with visa, work and school-based enquiries, arrange speakers and organise seminars in conjunction with careers advisor.

Přehled We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join an interdisciplinary research project focused on Midichloria, a unique intracellular symbiont capable of invading mitochondria of oocytes of several tick species, e.g. Ixodes ricinus. Despite its exceptional biology, the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial specificity of Midichloria remain unknown. This project aims to identify metabolic and functional features that render mitochondria susceptible to bacterial invasion, addressing a fundamental question in host–symbiont interactions. The PhD student will investigate whether mitochondrial invasion is associated with distinct mitochondrial states reflecting altered metabolic activity or functional imbalance. Using comparative biological models, the project will examine mitochondrial physiology, stress-related and redox-associated processes in relation to symbiont localization, integrating imaging-based approaches with targeted molecular and biochemical analyses. In the later phase, the project will explore whether Midichloria can retain its mitochondrial targeting capacity beyond its native host environment, testing the robustness and specificity of this interaction across biological systems. Overall, this research will reveal general principles of mitochondrial recognition by intracellular bacteria and provide a conceptual framework for exploiting symbiotic interactions to modulate mitochondrial states. We require you to have: Master’s degree in biology or a related life science field (completed before the start of the PhD) Experience with cell biology, microbiology, or molecular biology approaches Basic familiarity with microscopy, biochemical, or molecular techniques Good communication skills in English (written and spoken) Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment Strong interest in experimental research and fundamental biological questions We offer you: 5 weeks of paid holiday yearly, subsidized lunches in our own canteen Pension insurance contribution, support of leisure sport & cultural activities Full health insurance and social security, student benefits for PhD students Free Czech language classes, professional trainings and mentoring programme Concessionary services at the contractual operator and bank Campus-based daycare for employees‘ children from the age of 1 year Welcome service and further support for foreigners (HR Award) English speaking, friendly & stimulating international working environment Work-life balance in a middle-sized university city offering options for various activities Working in a stable, prestigious research institution of international importance Work will be conducted at the Institute of Parasitology (IoP), Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences (BC CAS), in České Budějovice, within the graduate study programme of the University of South Bohemia (USB).
