| |
| The applicants are expected to have at least a Master’s degree in economics or in relevant subjects with a strong background in economics (e.g., development studies, public administration) and currently be engaged in academic jobs (teaching or research). They are expected to have at least two years’ work experience. Some will be chosen from outside academia (e.g., government, private sector, NGOs), if they have the minimum academic qualification and relevant experiences. All these are, however, basic guidelines, and all cases will be considered on their own merits. Those who wish to apply for the course should send their Curriculum Vitae, an official transcript (showing courses taken and grades gained) from BA onwards, and one letter of reference from someone who is familiar with their academic work. For students whose main medium of instruction during their education was not English, some proof of English proficiency will be necessary. Results of standard English proficiency tests (e.g., TOEFL or IELTS) will be preferable, but other proof may be also accepted (e.g., a sample of written work in English). Applications should be accompanied by a covering letter, indicating the applicant’s full contact details (including the e-mail address, which will be the main means of communication during the admissions process) and their fields of interest within development economics, to Dr. Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, Course Director, LAPORDE, São Paulo School of Economics, Rua Itapeva n. 474, 13andar, 01332-000, São Paulo, SP, Brazil. The application should actually reach Dr. Bresser-Pereira by 10th November, and being postmarked before 20 November is not enough. Please note that we are not able to accept any document faxed or submitted in electronic forms, with the possible exception of the reference letter. While we will not individually acknowledge the receipt of the documents, we will be happy to confirm the receipt if asked. The successful candidates will be notified of the outcome of their applications by the beginning of December. |
