The Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) is an interinstitutional research center headquartered at the University of São Paulo (USP) and Cebrap (the Brazilian Center of Planning and Analysis).  

The Selection will be a two-stage process. In the first stage, the candidate’s curriculum vitae will be analyzed and their research project scrutinized (see model at http://www.fapesp.br/materia.php?data[id_materia]=270). The candidate’s profile and academic background will be borne in mind as much as the scientific quality of the presented research proposal. 

The relevance of the candidate’s research proposal to CEM main lines of research will also be of fundamental importance. To learn more about projects and ongoing research, see details about the ongoing CEPID project in this link
