International Postdoctoral Fellowship at Estate University of Campinas Brazil
Apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Brazil to put your research talents to the test and learn new ones. The Estate University of Campinas is hosting the event.
The 20-month PhD scholarship will be used to conduct an ethnography in So Paulo, with the goal of better understanding crisis response strategies, particularly the COVID-19 health crisis and its economic, housing, and occupational effects on the lives of migrants in So Paulo, as well as their kinship and community networks. The research will take place at the University of Campinas’ Center for Gender Studies (PAGU-UNICAMP) in the state of So Paulo.
The State Institution of Campinas, or Unicamp, was founded in 1962 and is a public research university in the Brazilian state of So Paulo.
