Work / Teaching Architecture in Poland [23]

Dear MIPK,

thanks a lot for your structured answers, and definitely it help a lot.

I know some of these websites you sent, i check them from time to time with the help of either my Polish wife, or the babelfish (:- Surely learning Polish is essential for developping any career in Poland.

I am still researching the matter, not an easy thing; Poland's education system needs a reform especially at the university level, and in particular in schoolls of architecture where old professors stick to their positions, and where salaries and research funds are among the lowest-if not the lowest in case they exist anyway!- in Europe. I hope that somethign will be done for this.

Are you teaching? or working in Poland as architect?

I am definitely willing to share -once i get more knowledge ab the topic- my findings in this subject;just started looking and investigating actually.

Thanks again for the imput, and i hope i can read more from u; u r in warsaw? krakow? gdansk?

Oh! thanks a lot for this info! actually it is very much for me, becasue my PhD research is about landscape integration within architecture, and in particular the Green Roof typology. And amaizingly enough, i found out that in this link, they mention that there is a Green Roof Studio under preparation ...

I guess it might be interesting for me to contact them; by the way, how you got to this link? i mean are you as well connected to the same field? and do you know amore about this institution? can you-if possible-expand more on this matter? it sounds very useful. I will investigate it more , with the help of my wife too.

Thanks, and i await for any additional feed from you or someone else,

best.

Work / Teaching Architecture in Poland [23]

Dear members,

i am new to the forum, it seems an interesting place to know about Poland, and to inquire about various issues.

I am an architect, married to a Polish citizen, and i received my first one year residency last month. I moved to Poland last September. I have a MAster degree in architecture from Lebanon (where i come from) , and another Master and Phd from Japan, and run my own free lanc studio in architecture. I have taught previously in various institutions of architecture, and now i am looking for a ful time position at a Polish University/Architecture department.

Can anyone give me any advice? hint? guidelines?somethings like:

-are foreigners non polish welcome to teach in Poland?
-are foreigners non polish welcome to teach architecture in Poland?
-does the curriculum in POlish university facilitate access to non Polish spoeaker teacher/professor ? (i don t speak polish -yet)
-what about salaries?
-does the full time professorship gives additional packages (insurance, financial assistance,...)?
-which cities in Poland might be more favourable for such a vacancy?
-is it enough in Poland to survive by teaching full time?
-any side benefits to teach at a Polosh University, especially if someone is foreigner?

I wait for any feedbacks,

thank you.
