Until the 27th of September, the IBGE National School of Statistical Sciences (ENCE) will be open for registration for the selection process of the Post-Graduate Program in Population, Territory and Public Statistics. Twenty places are offered for the Master's course and 10 places for the PhD course, with scholarship possibilities from the IBGE and Capes. The courses are rated 4 in the Ministry of Education's assessment system. Registration is free of charge and exclusively done on ENCE's website.
The whole process will be online, just as it was last year, because of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The selection will have three eliminatory stages: document checking, CV and work plan or pre-project evaluation, and individual evaluation of the candidate by video conferencing.
“The online Individual evaluation will take place from November 16 to November 26 and will consist of an oral test based on the indicated bibliography on the notice and of an interview. There will be, therefore, no written exam, following last year’s procedure”, explains ENCE’s Post-Graduate coordinator, Ms. Angelita Alves de Carvalho. She also emphasizes that the course requires full time availability.
Final results will be announced on December 6. Pre-enrollment of approved candidates will also take place on the Internet, on December 13 and 14. The school year is scheduled to start in March 2022. “Classes in 2021 are being given remotely. We have no indication from the Ministry of Education (MEC) for next year’s classes. We hope to return in person, but there is no established date for that”, said Ms. Carvalho.
The Post-Graduate Program in Population, Territory and Public Statistics prepares researchers and professionals for developing research and teaching activities, enables them to create and apply theoretical approaches as well as methods for analysis of socio-spatial processes and for producing information and public statistics to enhance knowledge on population, territory and its dynamics.
The program has two lines of research: Population, Territory and Living Conditions and Production of Public Statistics. The former studies the populational and territorial dynamics and the population’s living conditions, comprising social, economic and environmental aspects. The latter analyzes the planning and conduction of censuses, sample surveys and administrative records used to produce public statistics on the populational and territorial dynamics and the living conditions of the population.
