Key details
The Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) has opened applications for 31 post-doctorate scholarships under its Programa Estratégico de Valorização, Consolidação e Desenvolvimento da Pós-Graduação (PROPOS). Applications are accepted from February 2 to March 2, 2026, for researchers holding a doctorate degree, Brazilian or foreign, supervised by UEMS faculty. Each scholarship offers a monthly stipend of R$ 5,200 for 12 months, subject to budget availability. The distribution allows one scholarship for graduate programs with only a master's degree, two for those with both master’s and doctorate degrees, and up to six for INCTs coordinated by UEMS.
Research areas promoted by the initiative align with strategic themes for the socio-economic development of Mato Grosso do Sul, including sustainable production and consumption, innovation and biotechnology, health technologies, education and public policy, climate studies, and smart city planning. UEMS staff and faculty themselves are ineligible for these scholarships. This program seeks to enhance scientific research and advanced studies, focusing on national educational and human resource development goals.
This opportunity marks a significant boost for post-doctoral researchers targeting collaboration within Brazilian research institutions, offering support aligned with key development agendas in 2026.
