About the University of Economics in Katowice

Basic information and contact details for the University of Economics in Katowice

Established in 1937, the University of Economics in Katowice is the oldest and largest business school in Polish Silesia. It seeks to play a leading role in ending the region’s historic dependence on coal. It was closed during the Second World War and then reopened on its current site in the Zawodzie district in 1946. It became the State College of Economic Administration in 1950 and from 1972 took the name of the economist Karol Adamiecki (1866-1933). It then took its current name in 2010, Stefan Messner, university rector from 1975 to 1982, was prime minister of Poland from 1982 to 1988. It declares a mission to "provide a modern study offer and high-quality research in respect of selected disciplines, with an academic community that creates and disseminates knowledge and new ideas, and that is open to expert international cooperation". The faculties of economics, finance and insurance, information and communications and management are on the Katowice campus, a little over a mile from the city centre. The faculties of business, finance and administration are located in Rybnik, 30 miles away. It promotes itself to students with the slogan "Your place, your space, your future", extolling location "in an attractive, unique and flourishing city of Katowice, international and multicultural character of our institution and great employability prospects and career opportunities for our graduates". One survey of international students in Poland rated the university as top for satisfaction. Research Centres include the Social Labour Dialogue centre, focussing on employer-employee relationships as the regional economy undergoes restructuring.

We also conduct world-class research in art education, design and design thinking, digital media and visual culture, urban planning and architecture. Our graduates are innovators in and beyond their fields, drawing from over a century of tradition, a humane and forward-looking approach, and the latest technologies. Our campus in Espoo, just west of Helsinki, makes working together within and across disciplines easier than ever before. The Department of Art and Media conducts research and artistic activities across a broad range of subjects and themes. These include art education, contemporary art, curating, game design, new media, photography, visual communication design and visual culture. The Department of Art and Media has been recognized internationally for high-quality artistic outputs, media productions and art pedagogical activities, scholarship, and research. The Department has approximately 800 students and over 100 staff members and provides education in Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral levels. The Department of Art and Media invites applications for the position of Associate or Full Professor in Art, Society and Technology The successful candidate will be appointed for an Associate or Full Professor position in the Aalto University tenure track system. The employment will begin in August 2027 or as agreed, and it is located in the Department of Art and Media. The position will strengthen the department's capacity to develop socially grounded frameworks for understanding how technological transformations (digital platforms, algorithmic systems, artificial intelligence) and complex societal and systemic changes are affecting creative work, cultural production, contemporary art and civic life. Generative AI, datafication, and platform-driven economic models are already reshaping the conditions under which artists, designers, and media practitioners work. Consequently, established assumptions about authorship, compensation, and the distribution of cultural value are shifting rapidly. This professorship will offer a systemic and critically informed perspective on these transformations, drawing on transdisciplinary studies on topics such as politics, economy, digital transformation, and their impact on art and society. The Professor in Art, Society and Technology has a cross-disciplinary, and integrative understanding of how art & media, technology and work, intersect and are informed by research on themes such as political, economic and digital infrastructures. This international and comparative outlook complements the department's existing strengths in new media, visual cultures, game studies, transdisciplinary art studies, art education and contemporary art by situating research within wider social contexts.

Excellent track record in teaching and supervision in higher education, including doctoral education. Pedagogical training is a merit. Experience in academic leadership roles or other relevant responsibilities. Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English. These criteria are meant to support the holistic evaluation of candidates who are evaluated on the overall combination and balance across the dimensions relevant to the field and the type of the professorship. Particular emphasis is given to their potential to complement the existing research expertise of the school. The position will require working at the Aalto University campus in Finland. What we offer  The professor will be part of an inspiring and supportive community of experienced professionals and highly motivated students.
