<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Estamos con un cargo a concursar aquí en São Carlos con una temática<br>bastante amplia: CFD, análisis numérico, geometría computacional, cálculo<br>científico, computación gráfica. El concurso consiste en una clase pública<br>
</div><div>sobre un tema de la especialidad del candidato (Mecánica de Fluidos Computacional o<br></div><div>Procesamiento visual y Geométrico) y de una presentación de<br>proyecto de investigación frente al jurado, que considera también el CV.<br>
</div><div>Está prohibido en Brasil que el Departamento pague los costos de traslado de<br>los candidatos, así que tendrán que venir por cuenta propia. La visa no es<br>problema, ya que ganar un cargo de profesor universitario da acceso a<br>
</div><div>visa permanente para toda la familia.<br></div><div><br>Es un cargo de profesor asistente, cargo<br>efectivo y estable, con un salario de bolsillo de unos 2800 dólares, que es<br></div>un muy buen salario en São Carlos (bastante más barato que São Paulo).<br>
</div><div>La infraestructura de docencia e investigación son muy buenas, y las agencias<br>de fomento bastante generosas.<br><br></div>Los candidatos deben ser doctores, pero no precisan tener mucha experiencia<br></div>
post-doctoral. Los candidatos brasileros que se presentan en general o se<br>acaban de doctorar o lo hicieron hace uno o dos años. Tampoco es necesario<br></div>tener muchos artículos ya publicados, uno o dos artículos en buenas revistas<br>
</div>suelen ser la media entre los que ganan ese tipo de concurso. Desde luego<br></div>que esto depende de quién se presente. El concurso es verdaderamente<br>abierto y la lengua no debería ser un problema (um portuñol decente era todo<br>
lo que yo sabía cuando gané mi concurso). La burocracia, por otro lado, es<br>inflexible, pero el Departamento ayudará y guiará (dentro de lo razonable) a los <br>interesados en presentarse al concurso.<br><br></div><div>
