Post-Doctoral Position at the Faculty of Economics, Administration and Accounting, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil

The Research Project: The post-doc researcher will participate in a multidisciplinary research project involving the areas of Economics, Urban Planning, and Transport Engineering on the consequences of urban sprawl on the cities of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The project is funded by the São Paulo State Science Foundation (FAPESP – Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) and the State Secretary of Urban Development (Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Urbano do Estado de São Paulo).

Skills Requirements: The specific task of this post-doc position is in the economic part of the project. The candidate must have concluded his/her Ph.D. program after 2019, be familiar with input-output analysis, CGE modeling, and integrated modeling, and have previous experience with R. The objective is to contribute to the development of integrated macro-spatial simulation models to forecast sectoral employment and sectoral activity in different cities across the state of São Paulo. The research will focus on analyzing different economic scenarios, incorporating spatial and macroeconomic dynamics, and generating insights that can support regional development policies. By simulating employment trends in specific sectors, the results will be used to feed microsimulation models at a finer spatial scale. We expect the candidate to demonstrate a strong ability to work effectively in teams, contributing to the collaborative development of complex macro-spatial simulation models.

Participation: The tasks will be developed at the University of Sao Paulo Urban and Regional Economics Lab – NEREUS (Núcleo de Economia Regional Urbana da Universidade de São Paulo), at the USP main campus in Sao Paulo. The candidate will have a workstation at the NEREUS Lab and must participate physically in all the Lab’s academic activities, such as seminars, conferences, etc.
