There are some online portals like krakowflats.com that may be able to assist you with finding an apartment in the city.
You can probably find a room within a share house for around PZL 800 per month but if you want your own place you should expect to pay at least PZL 1500 per month.
For more information on expenses in Poland, I would suggest reading the Expat Arrivals Cost of Living in Poland page.
The process for obtaining a work permit in Poland will differ according to your nationality. EU citizens do not need a work permit, non-EU citizens do. The application for permission to work in Poland must be made by the employer. The burden will lie with the employer rather than the expat.
For a more detailed overview on work permits see the Work Permits for Poland page.
Good luck in Krakow
