POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER PROGRAM (PPPD)

The development of a study and research internship for qualification and improvement after the doctorate, under the supervision of a professor from the Institute of Computing, takes place through entry into the Postdoctoral Researcher Program (PPPD). The PPPD aims to attract and retain new doctors for the development of scientific research activities, as well as to facilitate teaching activities for young doctors to improve their careers and deepen the scientific work and training of students from groups or departments of the university.
