The postdoctoral program is dedicated exclusively to research. In our group, researchers can conduct their postdoctoral research for a period of 12 to 24 months. The rules and deadlines for submitting proposals follow the schedule of the USP Law School. Postdoctoral proposals may be submitted twice a year. The deadlines are March 31 and September 30. The requirements for acceptance into the program are:
General requirements, as defined by the USP Law School
- Doctoral degree
- A research proposal demonstrating competence in the chosen topic and featuring a plausible research hypothesis, appropriate methodology, and a feasible work schedule
- Postdoctoral scholarship or own source of funding

Specific requirements of the Constitution, Politics & Institutions group

- Acceptance into the postdoctoral program entitles the recipient to use the facilities and services of the entire University of São Paulo (libraries, restaurants, sports center), but does not entitle the recipient to housing.
