Thesis Monograph
Explanation:
Em inglês americano os nomes de trabalhos acadêmicos para obtenção de títulos são invertidos em relação ao português do Brasil:

Thesis = Dissertação (para obtenção do título de mestre)

Dissertation = Tese (para obtenção do título de doutor)

Monografia é Monograph (ou raramente monography - Webster's)

Veja um típico exemplo de currículo brasileiro com ambos os títulos (mestre e doutor) e o nome dos trabalhos apresentados:

Aqui um exemplo de currículo português:

Correia, J. 1997. (não publicado) Padrões de movimentos de tubarões limão subadultos (Negaprion brevirostris) na Lagoa Bimini, Bahamas: I) Cálculo de taxas de movimento; II) Correlação com hidrodinâmica local. Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Ecologia, Gestão e Modelação dos Recursos Marinhos.Lisboa, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Instituto Superior Técnico. 138 p.

to Marian Greenfield: \"Thesis Monograph\" is just a literal translation of an expression that is not native Portuguese either. Actually, a monograph (monografia) in academia (Brazil) pertains to undergraduate work presented for graduation in most federal colleges. You see, \"monografia de dissertação\" does not make any sense in Portuguese as well, but people like innovative writing...

so maybe the term we\'re looking for is simply \"thesis\". I\'m quite sure it is not \"dissertation\".

dissertation


Explanation:
If this is the monster that needs to be written for a PhD. it's simply called a dissertation.

Monograph is used in scholarly circles, but not in the context of a dissertation.

disagree  Henrique Serra: I'm afraid we're looking at a false cognate here; see my note posted just above your proposed solution. A dissertation is called "tese" in Portuguese. A "dissertação" corresponds to a thesis.

  -> That may be true (or maybe not), but thesis monograph is not native English. It may be a thesis...
