Career

He is a graduate of the renowned VI Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Tadeusza Reytana w Warszawie and a 2000 summa cum laude graduate from the Faculty of Management, Warsaw University. In 2004 he earned a Ph.D. in economics from the Kozminski University, with Andrzej Koźmiński being the supervisor of his thesis on IT workers in organisations; study of programmers' professional culture. In 2009, following his thesis Praca oparta na wiedzy he received his habilitation. In 2014, he received his Professor's degree from the President of Poland.

His research so far has included workplace studies of knowledge-intensive workers on the example of software engineers in the US and in Europe. He has written a book on "the new knowledge workers", as well as the social organization of Wikipedia titled Common Knowledge?: An Ethnography of Wikipedia, first published in Poland in 2013 as Życie wirtualnych dzikich. Netnografia Wikipedii, największego projektu współtworzonego przez ludzi. The book follows a period of research on identity and roles in open source projects, in the form of participating ethnography

Jemielniak has conducted research projects at Cornell University (2004-2005), Harvard University (2007), Berkeley (2008), and Harvard Law School (2011-2012, 2015-2016). He also conducts research on organisational changes in higher education facilities and is an active participant in the debate on the reform of higher education in Poland.

His experience running non-governmental organizations includes being an elected chairperson of the "Inkubator" association (organizing a network of young Poles with literary talents) for one term, as well as being an elected chairperson of the Collegium Invisibile association for three terms. In both cases responsibilities included writing grant proposals and active fundraising. Collegium Invisibile experience allowed Dariusz to participate in the Higher Education Support Program within the Soros Foundation network, including a 300h course on fundraising in Budapest, Moscow, and Blagoevgrad. He also has served on the Funds Dissemination Committee of the "English Teaching" program (aimed at improving language skills of English teachers in rural areas of Poland) coordinated by Fundacja Nida from the funds of Polish-American Freedom Foundation over the last 8+ years.

Jemielniak is the Polish Chief Desk of the Annals of Improbable Research, best known for running the annual Ig Nobel Prizes ceremony. He is also author of Ling.pl, one of Poland's largest Internet dictionaries, as well as of angielski.edu.pl, an English-learning website.
Within the Wikimedia movement, Jemielniak is involved in the Polish Wikipedia, where he serves as an administrator, a bureaucrat, and a checkuser, as well as globally as one of the stewards until early 2016. Previously he served one term on the Wikimedia Foundation's ombudsman commission. He was the only person (aside from Heilman himself) who voted against the removal of James Heilman from the Wikimedia Foundation's board of trustees.
He is a member of the Polish chapter of Wikimedia, but has never held any roles or position in it. He was one of the active participants in the discussion about allowing paid edits to be made on the Wikimedia projects, as well as on reducing the bureaucracy within the projects, and conflict resolution. He is an advocate of wider involvement of women in the Wikimedia movement as well as of deeper involvement of academic circles in using and editing Wikipedia (writing Wikipedia articles by students as criteria for obtaining credit, checking their level of knowledge and creating texts useful to the society at large at the same time). He considers it the moral obligation of all Wikipedia users to correct any mistakes they see, even if they do not support the movement financially.
