Judyta Niedokos serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Romance Cultures and Literatures at the Institute of Literary Studies, Faculty of Humanities, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. She concurrently holds the position of Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the journal Quêtes littéraires and maintains active membership in both the Association européenne d'Etudes francophones and the Polish Academic Society of Romanists Plejada.
