Doctoral degree in full-time or combined form. The language of instruction is Czech.
The programme can be studied only as a single subject.
The programme’s goal is to develop students in the field of Anthropology as developed at the Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Science, MU. In addition to be ready to take on further scientific careers in academic institutions, graduates find possible employment in companies with research facilities, in archaeology or history-oriented institutions (archaeological agencies and intitutes, museums, institutions of cultural heritage), forensics-oriented institutions in government and non-governmental organisations (UN, NGOs), in healthcare facilities, and last but not least as lecturers.
“Nature through culture.”
Research topics follow the research strategy at the Department of Anthropology and currently include:
1) Mankind and the Environment in the Past – studies of human skeletal remains and funerary practices,
2) Mankind and the Environment in the Modern Era - relationships between modern-day environment and the morphology and composition of the human body, including effects of stress in various stages of body development and effects of external agents on sexual maturation and human sexuality,
3) Virtual Anthropology - – implementation of innovative, state-of-the-art, up-to-date digital technologies and procedures to studies of human biology,
4) Forensics-oriented Research - research in forensic, security and protection sectors, conducted mainly by the Laboratory of Morphology and Forensic Anthropology (LaMorFA). LaMorFA represents a leading forensic anthropology laboratory in the country and serves, among other things, as a sought-after training centre for forensic specialists (including law-enforcement officers).
Forensic expert casework, for which PhD students are also trained:
Excavation and exhumation of human remains in the archaeological and forensic context
Identification of skeletal findings in the archaeological and forensic context
Portrait identification of persons
Practical training (with the exception of laboratory expert casework) is not a mandatory part of the study.
