08/15: Prof. Pedro Camargo has been promoted to Associate Professor!
Prof. Pedro Camargo has passed his "Livre-Docência" exam and has become an Associate Professor at USP! "Livre-Docência" in Brazil is similar to a Habilitation, which represents the highest academic qualification a scholar can achieve by his or her own pursuit. Earned usually after obtaining a research doctorate, such as a PhD, habilitation requires that the candidate write a professorial thesis (or habilitation thesis) based on independent research, reviewed by and defended before an academic committee in a process similar to that of the doctoral dissertation. However, the level of scholarship has to be considerably higher than that required for a research doctoral (PhD) thesis in terms of quality and quantity, and must be accomplished independently, in contrast with a PhD dissertation typically directed or guided by a faculty supervisor (source: Wikipedia).
