"NeRDS (New Research on Digital Societies) group at Kozminski University, a leading research-driven business school in the heart of Europe, is seeking to fill one or more open rank positions.

The candidates should specify if they are applying for a position of:

• – research and teaching assistant (asystent),
• – assistant professor (adiunkt),
• – associate professor (profesor nadzwyczajny), or
• – full professor (profesor zwyczajny). 

The research areas of particular interest for the candidates include:

• – open collaboration and peer production,
• – sharing economy and platform capitalism,
• – digital humanities,
• – critical studies of online communities,
• – sociology of the internet,
• – Big Data analysis,
• – network society,
• – virtual ethnography.

 About you:

A successful candidate should have a strong academic record matching the position they are applying for. In the case of an associate and full professor ranks, a strong publication record in the JCR-listed journals and the leading academic publishers, as well as a proven successful grant applications track record are expected.

Full proficiency in written and oral English is necessary (level C2 required). Fluency in Polish is not a requirement, but in the long run can be useful. If you do not speak Polish, we would certainly hope that you will be willing to learn it. Other things we value include:

• – extended experience from abroad,
• – combined educational background from different fields or documented research experience in both qualitative and quantitative projects,
• – strong academic orientation,
• – good presentation and teaching skills,
• – documented academic interests related to studying online communities.

We do not restrict the background of candidates to a particular field, as we believe that good research can be inspired and developed from different angles. However, we understand that the position may appeal particularly to people doing research in management, organization studies, sociology, anthropology, media studies, information science, or digital humanities.

We are equally interested in people apt in qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a slight preference to those, who are able to do both."
