I am an Associate Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology, Faculty of Management and Economics. I gained my PhD in July 2006 for which I received the Polish Prime Ministry’s Award for the outstanding doctoral thesis. Between 2007 and 2008, I was a beneficiary of the Max Weber Fellowship at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. I conducted part of my research at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium as a Marie Curie Fellow (September 2005-February 2006) and at Glasgow University as a research visitor (March – June 2004). During the academic year 2013/2014, I was a visiting scholar in the Center for Labor Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
