Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (DIIS) of the School of
Engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC) are
offering a full-time professor position at the assistant or associate
level. The primary affiliation of a successful candidate will be at the IMC.
We welcome applications from highly qualified candidates with strong
publication records and excellent teaching skills. The successful applicant
should preferably develop methodological tools in the areas of Algorithms,
Discrete Mathematics, Game Theory, Optimization, and/or Stochastic
Processes, and apply them in some of the following areas: Economics,
Finance, Operations Research, or Social Choice. A doctoral degree in
Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, Operations
Research or related areas is required. Female candidates are particularly
encouraged to apply. The selected candidate is expected to conduct
interdisciplinary research in the areas related to this call. The potential
to address relevant applied problems in the industry and public sectors,
among others, is also very valuable. The candidate should contribute to the
Mathematical and Computational Engineering and the Industrial and Systems
Engineering curriculum within the areas mentioned above. The typical
teaching load is three semester-long courses a year, at the graduate or
undergraduate level, where two courses shall be given within IMC and one
within DIIS. For the first year, the selected candidate can opt for a
reduced teaching load of only two courses. Command of Spanish is not
required for applying, however, the selected candidate is expected to start
teaching in Spanish in at most two years.
*ABOUT IMC*
The IMC was recently created as a joint endeavor between the School of
Engineering and the Faculty of Mathematics of UC in Santiago. The Institute
aims to become in the short term a leading actor in the area of applied
mathematics in Latin America, by:
- developing cutting-edge research in the area;
- addressing complex problems in coordination with other disciplin
- es; training highly-qualified students with a solid background in
science and engineering methods;
- establishing collaboration networks with leading research institutions
around the world; and
- actively transferring knowledge to society in the form of
technological development and outreach.
The IMC is responsible for the Mathematical Engineering program at UC —a
highly selective undergraduate program within the School of Engineering—
the Master program in Mathematical and Computational Engineering, and is in
the process of creating other interdisciplinary graduate programs in
Mathematical and Computational Engineering leading to masters and doctoral
degrees. Further information about the Institute can be found at

and public policies. The Department's mission is to contribute to the
social well-being and sustainable growth of organizations and society,
through the training of people, the study of complex problems with
innovative solutions, and expanding scientific-technological knowledge. The
Department is responsible for the curriculum of Industrial Engineering at
the School of Engineering, as well as an undergraduate Major program in
Operations Research. Graduate studies are offered by way of a Master of
Science and a Doctoral program. Further information about the Department
can be found at https://www.ing.uc.cl/industrial-y-sistemas/
*ABOUT UC*
The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile is one of the leading research
and educational institutions in Latin America, consistently ranking top
three in the QS University Ranking for the region, and the Engineering
School and Mathematics Faculty are among the best-ranked ones in the
University. As members of IMC and DIIS, the selected candidate will be able
to enjoy a very active research environment, with challenging applications
in several sectors, as well as being able to interact with some of the best
students in Chile. Further information about UC can be found at
