Opportunities

Postdoctoral scholarship opportunity in Brazil

The general objective of the project is to verify the applicability in Brazil of the concept of deep equality formulated by Lori Beaman. More specifically, we seek to assess two interrelated questions: 1. how racial, gender and religious conflicts are negotiated in the network of family ties and neighborhood relations; 2. whether these negotiations take place outside and independently of the official political model of pluralism transmitted by public educational institutions. To this end, in-depth interviews will be conducted with members of low-income families in the city of São Paulo. These families will be chosen from among those with children who attend religious education classes in public schools.

It is desirable that the candidate has experience in international research collaboration in the area of ethnic-racial and religious diversity.

Interested researchers should send a document summarizing their research achievements related to the theme of the project, as well as their CV, to guibfcosta@gmail.com by September 20, 2024.

The position is open to Brazilians and foreigners. The researcher selected will receive a 36-month FAPESP postdoctoral scholarship worth R$12,000.00 (BRL) per month and a Technical Reserve equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the scholarship to cover expenses directly related to research activities.
