About the University of Wrocław
Basic information and contact details for the University of Wrocław
Founded by Leopold I Habsburg in 1702, the University of Wrocław is one of Central Europe’s oldest collegiate-level higher education institutions. Although it began as a modest school run by Jesuits, it is now one of the biggest universities in Poland, with its primary focus on scientific research.
It has 12 faculties, enabling 170 areas of study – most are taught in Polish, with over 30 in English. According to the Ministry of Higher Education, the Faculty of Social Sciences is one of the best in Poland, while the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics is one of the largest.
Located on the same campus as the former University of Breslau, 70 per cent of the university’s buildings were destroyed by the Soviet Red Army in 1945, but were quickly rebuilt and it was reinstated as a Polish state university.
The university has produced some nine Nobel Prize winners, including Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born and Fritz Haber. A recent addition to the University of Wrocław has been the Academic Incubator of Entrepreneurship, a hub to help students start their own businesses with free entrepreneurial advice, conferences, seminars, financial aid with investments and free office space.
A collaboration with the Wrocław Technology Park, the technological centre boasts laboratories, office space, a conference centre and modern multimedia equipment. The objective of the Technology Park is to create conditions for the use of scientific and industrial potential of Wrocław and the region, as well as stimulating the advanced technologies industry.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Human Geography
Durham University
United Kingdom, Durham
Durham University
United Kingdom, Durham
We are seeking to appoint a 30-month Postdoctoral Research Associate in Human Geography to work within the Leverhulme Trust funded project "Plants out of place: entanglements with 'invasive weeds' in the Anthropocene". Plants out of place focuses on challenging conventional thinking about 'invasive weeds' through a transdisciplinary approach incorporating environmental humanities, vegetal cultural geographies, and political ecology. The project aims to advance new ways of thinking about and with weeds through three innovative interventions: a migrant ecology that questions 'invasion' narratives by tracing the histories of how weeds arrive in particular places; a decolonial ecology that challenges Western narratives and explores alternative ways of thinking and living with weeds by learning from traditional knowledges in their places of origin; a multispecies geography that documents entanglements of weeds with other species (e.g. as food, medicine, matter) in the context of accelerating climate change. The project focuses on three invasive non-native plants in the UK and uses archival research, document analysis, participant observation, and semi-structured and go-along interviews in the UK and places of origin. A sensory exhibition of materials assembled during research will function as a creative community engagement to experiment and collaborate with 'invasive weeds'. The successful applicant will work on the project alongside Prof. Cheryl McEwan (Principal Investigator, Department of Geography, Durham University). The primary duties will be to contribute to the development of the project's conceptual approach and to the preparation and planning of the research, undertake fieldwork and archival research in the UK and one of the three overseas locations, co-design and plan the sensory exhibition, and contribute to the writing up and dissemination of the research to multiple academic and non-academic audiences. Applications from those with experience of plant humanities, Critical Plant Studies, political ecology, and vegetal geographies are encouraged.
