The Medical University of Silesia in Katowice is accepting applications for a Teaching Assistant position at the Department and Clinic of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, part of the Faculty of Medical Sciences. The deadline to submit bids is August 27, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. local time. This is a competition-based hiring process, meaning candidates are evaluated against each other for the single open role. The position sits within a clinical academic setting. A Teaching Assistant here would work alongside senior faculty and clinicians, supporting both the education of medical students and the daily operations of a gastroenterology and hepatology clinic. This means a mix of preparing teaching materials, supervising students during clinical rotations, and contributing to the department's research activities. It is a role for someone early in their academic career who wants to build a long-term path in university medicine. The Medical University of Silesia is one of Poland's largest medical universities. It operates across the Silesian metropolitan area, with campuses and teaching hospitals in Katowice and surrounding cities. The university trains thousands of students across medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and other health sciences. Its clinical departments are tied directly to regional hospitals, so staff and students work with real patient populations while advancing research in fields like gastroenterology and hepatology. Katowice is the heart of the Silesian region, a major urban area in southern Poland. The cost of living is noticeably lower than in Warsaw or Krakow, though salaries in Polish academia reflect that. The city has a growing reputation as a hub for technology and culture, with good public transport and easy access to the Tatra Mountains for weekend trips. International applicants will need to secure a work permit and residence registration, which the university typically supports for successful candidates. Polish language proficiency is essential for a teaching role, since instruction is delivered in Polish.
