8 Postdoctoral Positions, University of São Paul, Brazil (2019)

The Center for the Study of Violence of the University of São Paulo (NEV-USP) announces a selective process for 8 post-doctoral posts in the Institutional Research Program "Building Democracy in Daily Life: Human Rights, Violence and Institutional Trust", supported by FAPESP through the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers Program (RIDCs).

Vacancies and scholarships will last for at least one year, with the possibility of renewal. The expected start is for May 2019.

The objective of the research program is to analyze how the legitimacy of key institutions for democracy is constructed or jeopardized, by exploring the contacts between citizens and civil servants from local public services in representative areas of the city of São Paulo.

The post-doctoral (PD) fellows, from areas in the human sciences such as sociology, political science, anthropology, social psychology, urban studies, law etc., are expected to lead theoretical and empirical research in the program, aside from other regular activities such as the organizing seminars, preparing papers, supervising undergraduate students, disseminating research results and cooperating with the educational projects.
