The São Paulo State University (Unesp) in Brazil welcomes applications from postgraduate students enrolled in British universities who are working towards a PhD degree in English language teaching for foreign students. Candidates can apply to stay for 10 months (from March 2014 to December 2014), or for 8 months (starting in August 2014 until March 2015).

Selected candidates will be enrolled as exchange students in a PhD program at Unesp, and will be co-supervised by researchers from the Language Departments. They will be developing research and teacher training activities on a full time basis in one of Unesp’s campuses: Araraquara, Assis, Bauru, Botucatu, Guaratinguetá, Ilha Solteira, Jaboticabal, Presidente Prudente, Rio Claro, São José dos Campos, and Sorocaba, located at the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Students will receive a monthly scholarship to cover subsistence costs, plus a travel grant for the purchase of the return airfare to Brazil.

This mobility programme is promoted by Unesp and the British Council in Brazil.
