and Data Science, the Institute for Mathematical and Computational
Engineering (IMC) from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC) is
offering one or more full-time positions at the assistant (tenure-track) or
associate level. We invite applications from highly qualified candidates in
the areas of Data Science, Machine Learning, Optimization, Statistics and
Stochastics, although other areas from Computational Science, Engineering
and Applied Mathematics will also be considered.
The selected candidates will be expected to teach and contribute to the
Mathematical and Computational Engineering curriculum, to conduct
interdisciplinary research and to connect with other institutes in the
University. Typical teaching load is three semester-long courses a year, at
the graduate or undergraduate level, and priority will be given to courses
required by the newly created Licentiate in Data Science Engineering
program. For the first year, selected candidates can opt for a reduced
teaching load of only two courses. Command of Spanish is not required for
applying, but the selected candidates are expected to start teaching in
Spanish in the short term (maximum two years).
*About IMC*
The IMC was created as a joint endeavor between the School of Engineering
and the Faculty of Mathematics of UC in Santiago. The Institute is
advancing towards becoming a leading actor in the area of applied
mathematics in Latin America, by:
- developing cutting-edge research in all areas mentioned above;
- addressing complex problems in coordination with other disciplines;
- training highly-qualified students with a solid background in science
and engineering methods;
- establishing networks of collaborations 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 Licentiate in Data Science Engineering and
the Mathematical Engineering programs at UC, and is in the process of
creating graduate programs in Mathematical and Computational Engineering
leading to masters and doctoral degrees.

*About UC*
The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile is one of the leading research
and educational institutions in Latin America. As members of IMC, the
selected candidates will be able to enjoy a very active research
environment, with challenging applications in several sectors, as well as
being able to interact with the best students in Chile. Further information
about UC can be found at www.uc.cl
*Salary*
Starting salary is about US$48,000 per year, before taxes, health
insurance, and pension fund contribution, at the assistant professor level.
The University also offers startup funding of about US$10,000 to support
the candidate's research during the first 3-years of tenure-track faculty.
This salary is increased every two years for those academics who receive an
evaluation at the highest possible rank. Most funding projects existing in
Chile also provide extra salary for academics. Additional income can also
be obtained by participating in professional teaching programs and tech
transfer projects of IMC.
