Brazil: New Post-Doctoral Position - The Center for Economics and Politics of the Public Sector–CEPESP at the Getulio Vargas Foundation

Overview

The Center for Economics and Politics of the Public Sector – CEPESP at the Getulio Vargas Foundation – FGV is searching for candidates for a postdoctoral position to investigate the impact of political institutions on public expenditure at subnational level in Brazil. This search is attached to a thematic research project entitled “Political Institutions and Public Expenditure: An Assessment of the Brazilian States” funded by the Sao Paulo Research Agency – FAPESP.

This research explores the effects of political institutions (independent variables) over the allocation of public resources in Brazilian states. The independent variables are divided in two lines of investigation: the first will focus electoral aspects; the second will focus on governance aspects. The first line of investigation will explore both governors and political parties; electoral strategies; and the accountability patterns toward state citizens. The second line will explore the relationship between the governor and the state assembly; particularly, local political coalitions, and the resources the executive resorts to build up legislative majorities in local assemblies.

Duty and Responsibility

The successful candidate is expected to participate in all aspects of this investigation under the supervision of Professors Carlos Pereira (carlos.pereira@fgv.br) and George Avelino (george.avelino@fgv.br). Specific task will include writing reports, preparing datasets, attending workshops/conferences, and assisting with the preparation of manuscripts publications. The FAPESP post-doc fellowship runs for 12 consecutive months with a monthly payment of R$ 5,028.90 Reais (tax free), and can be renewed for up to three years. The fellowship allows the recipient to dedicate until four hours per week to other activities, with a possibility to teach at FGV, depending on course availability. The selected candidates will be eventually interviewed personally or electronically.


How to apply

Interested applicants should send a cover letter clearly stating a preliminary proposal related the projects objectives and the curriculum vitae to CEPESP, Rua Itapeva, 474, 12º. andar, Sala: 1200, São Paulo-SP 01332-000.

Applications could also be sent by e-mail to Prof. George Avelino (george.avelino@fgv.br).
