[NotiAMCA] Concurso para Profesor Asistente en el Departamento de Matemática y Estadística de la USP São Carlos

[Gustavo Buscaglia]

Estamos con un cargo a concursar aquí en São Carlos con una temática
bastante amplia: CFD, análisis numérico, geometría computacional, cálculo
científico, computación gráfica. El concurso consiste en una clase pública
sobre un tema de la especialidad del candidato (Mecánica de Fluidos
Computacional o
Procesamiento visual y Geométrico) y de una presentación de
proyecto de investigación frente al jurado, que considera también el CV.
Está prohibido en Brasil que el Departamento pague los costos de traslado de
los candidatos, así que tendrán que venir por cuenta propia. La visa no es
problema, ya que ganar un cargo de profesor universitario da acceso a
visa permanente para toda la familia.

Es un cargo de profesor asistente, cargo
efectivo y estable, con un salario de bolsillo de unos 2800 dólares, que es
un muy buen salario en São Carlos (bastante más barato que São Paulo).
La infraestructura de docencia e investigación son muy buenas, y las
agencias
de fomento bastante generosas.

Los candidatos deben ser doctores, pero no precisan tener mucha experiencia
post-doctoral. Los candidatos brasileros que se presentan en general o se
acaban de doctorar o lo hicieron hace uno o dos años. Tampoco es necesario
tener muchos artículos ya publicados, uno o dos artículos en buenas revistas
suelen ser la media entre los que ganan ese tipo de concurso. Desde luego
que esto depende de quién se presente. El concurso es verdaderamente
abierto y la lengua no debería ser un problema (um portuñol decente era todo
lo que yo sabía cuando gané mi concurso). La burocracia, por otro lado, es
inflexible, pero el Departamento ayudará y guiará (dentro de lo razonable)
a los
interesados en presentarse al concurso.

Saludos a todos los amigos,

Gustavo Buscaglia
