announces a call for two positions

of POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER

in a group of researchers

at the Faculty of International and Political Studies

The call is open to persons who meet the conditions set out in Article 113, 116 sec. 2 item 3 of the Act of 20 July 2018 —

1) hold at minimum a doctoral degree, 2) take an active part in scientific life. 3) have relevant scientific achievements,

Ideally, the candidate should meet the following criteria:

1. is a researcher with a doctoral degree in one of the academic fields that cooperate with PRAs

(https://futuresoc.id.uj.edu.pl/en_GB/about-us), obtained in a country other than Poland; OR, if the candidate has

a doctoral degree awarded in Poland, they will be deemed to meet the prerequisites for application, if, after obtaining

the doctoral degree, they were employed as a researcher or research lecturer at a foreign university, foreign research

institute, foreign research center, international science institute, or other foreign science institution for a minimum

of 3 years; or completed a postdoctoral fellowship (post-doc) at a foreign university, foreign research institute,

foreign research center, international science institute, or other foreign science institution,

2. has authored at minimum two publications as the main author (especially as the first or the corresponding author)

in a journal included in one of the international databases: Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social

Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, especially with a high Impact Factor, or is the author

of a reviewed scientific monograph,

3. has experience in organizational and project work (has been a project manager, main contractor, or co-contractor),

in particular in the implementation of international projects financed using external sources,

4. has documented fluency in English. If English is not the applicant's native language or if the language of instruction

in the course of their academic education was not English, it is necessary to present an English fluency certificate

at the C1 level (in accordance with the Council of Europe Level: Common European Framework of Reference for

Languages),

5. has experience in popularizing science and innovative education,

6. has experience in cooperation within the socio-economic environment.

In addition, the candidate will be granted access to a research fund under the Global Trends Lab, which will involve

implementing a project that fits into one of the two research topics described below:

(1) Liberal democracy in the era of post-truth. Challenges for societies, states, and international relations.

The aim of the proposed research should be to capture the changes that contemporary democratic systems are

undergoing, as well as to represent them in the context of the development of new and emerging technologies and

of the impact of certain processes, such as the spread of disinformation, fake news, and conspiracy theories, on the

current socio-political and economic changes at the level of the state and of the international system. Technological

development — in areas that include artificial intelligence, methods of communication, biotechnology, monitoring

of citizens' behavior, among others — brings changes to the functioning of societies, affects the transformations

occurring in the organization of democratic process (E-democracy) at the local, national, and supranational levels.

These processes also affect how states behave and how the international system operates. New and emerging

technologies can lead to violations of the value systems that contemporary societies base their democratic social

order on, leading to a violation of trust in fellow citizens, and to enabling an increased latent influence on the

democratic processes. The proposed projects may also address the issues of how these processes contribute to the

increased contestation of institutions at the supranational level as well as within states, and to a lack of trust in

experts, politicians, journalists, and the media. The proposed research should comply with the 4I principle and be

interdisciplinary, innovative, and contribute to internationalization and integration with the external environment.

(2) New technologies. Opportunities and threats to international security.

The proposed research should aim to capture the impact of new and emerging technologies on political processes,

international relations, and security. Technological development in the areas of artificial intelligence, methods of

communication, biotechnology, and others, brings changes in the functioning of the international system, the

behavior of states and societies. While technological development is beneficial to mankind, it is also a source of

new threats. Technological progress affects international security, changes the contemporary international order

and the balance of power on the global scene. In this aspect, the following areas can be analyzed: (1) the impact of

technological development on the conditions and the geopolitical situation in individual regions, on the competition

between states, as well as on modern forms and instruments of increasing the sphere of influence in the world and

building the position of a superpower; (2) the development of new and emerging technologies and their impact on

the mechanisms of globalization, its determinants and political, social, economic, and spatial consequences, as well

as new approaches and methods of managing new technologies at the global level; (3) what new forms of threats

arise from the development of new and emerging technologies and how these phenomena affect social, political,

and legal processes, security and international relations; what impact new technologies have on the future and ethics

of wars and armed conflicts. The proposed research should comply with the 4I principle and be interdisciplinary,

innovative, and contribute to internationalization and integration with the external environment.

The project should clearly indicate the following: the relationship with the research topic indicated in the call, the

project objectives, the research methodology and work schedule, the planned project results, the forms of dissemination

of results (including cooperation within the socio-economic environment), the project's importance for the areas of

interest of the Global Trends Lab and FutureSoc PRA (https://futuresoc.id.uj.edu.pl/en_GB/gtl) and the rationale for

applying the 4I rule, as well as a bibliography.

Expectations:

1. implementation of a research project, in cooperation with LAB / Faculty employees,

2. submission of at minimum two publications to high-scoring journals from the list of the Ministry of Education and

Science (https://listymnisw.pl/full.php),

3. submission of a research grant to an external institution (alone or in cooperation with other researchers),

4. active contribution to the activities, priorities and mission of PRAs and the Faculty by popularizing research among

a wider audience, e.g., through participation in seminars, preparing lectures and contributing to the scientific

exchange at Global Trends Lab, FutureSoc PRA, and the University to improve scientific excellence, develop

research areas, and promote the building of an interdisciplinary community that generates new ideas.

We offer:

1. The offered remuneration includes base salary and an allowance.

2. A fixed-term employment contract of 30 months.

3. The candidate will be granted access to the research fund under the Global Trends Lab (in the amount of PLN

100,000 for 30 months, billed annually). Costs eligible under the fund may include, in particular: travel for the
