The Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Pós-graduação em Engenharia Elétrica e Computação) at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie in São Paulo, Brazil, is inviting international applications for a fully funded PhD scholarship. This opportunity is perfect for researchers looking to work at the intersection of solar physics, upper atmospheric science, and instrumentation. 🔬 Core Research Themes Candidates will have the opportunity to align their doctoral thesis with several active, high-impact research areas: Solar & Stellar Activity: Investigating solar flares, stellar atmospheric dynamics, and flaring mechanisms. Ionosphere / VLF (Very Low Frequency): Analyzing upper atmospheric physics, D-region ionospheric disturbances, and wave propagation. Space Geodesy: Utilizing space-based geodetic techniques to study Earth's shape, orientation, and gravity field variations. Radio Telescope Design & Operations: Developing, calibrating, and managing cutting-edge instrumentation for radio astronomy and solar observations. 📋 Candidate Profile & Eligibility Target Audience: International applicants holding (or close to completing) a Master’s degree in Physics, Astronomy, Space Geophysics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Core Competencies: A strong motivation for space science data analysis, numerical modeling, or radio hardware engineering. 📅 Application Mechanics The selection process is organized in partnership with the GCUB (Grupo de Cooperação Internacional de Universidades Brasileiras) mobility framework. Official Program Guidelines: Comprehensive application rules, language parameters, and document requirements can be reviewed directly via the GCUB Call for Applications Portal. Review Status: The call was published on June 14, 2026, and is actively accepting international portfolios. 📩 How to Apply & Inquiries For scientific inquiries regarding research infrastructure, prospective advisors, or laboratory capabilities, you can contact Dr. Paulo Simões directly: Email: [email protected] #SpacePhysics #RadioAstronomy #PhDPosition #MackenzieUniversity #BrazilResearch #Ionosphere #SolarPhysics #VLF #SpaceGeodesy #STEMCareers #GCUBMobility
