The Institute for Mathematical and Computational Engineering (IMC)
and the<br>
Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (DIIS) of the
School of<br>
Engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC)
are<br>
offering a full-time professor position at the assistant or
associate<br>
level. The primary affiliation of a successful candidate will be
at the IMC.<br>
<br>
We welcome applications from highly qualified candidates with
strong<br>
publication records and excellent teaching skills. The successful
applicant<br>
should preferably develop methodological tools in the areas of
Algorithms,<br>
Discrete Mathematics, Game Theory, Optimization, and/or Stochastic<br>
Processes, and apply them in some of the following areas:
Economics,<br>
Finance, Operations Research, or Social Choice. A doctoral degree
in<br>
Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Finance,
Operations<br>
Research or related areas is required. Female candidates are
particularly<br>
encouraged to apply. The selected candidate is expected to conduct<br>
interdisciplinary research in the areas related to this call. The
potential<br>
to address relevant applied problems in the industry and public
sectors,<br>
among others, is also very valuable. The candidate should
contribute to the<br>
Mathematical and Computational Engineering and the Industrial and
Systems<br>
Engineering curriculum within the areas mentioned above. The
typical<br>
teaching load is three semester-long courses a year, at the
graduate or<br>
undergraduate level, where two courses shall be given within IMC
and one<br>
within DIIS. For the first year, the selected candidate can opt
for a<br>
reduced teaching load of only two courses. Command of Spanish is
not<br>
required for applying, however, the selected candidate is expected
to start<br>
teaching in Spanish in at most two years.<br>
<br>
*ABOUT IMC*<br>
The IMC was recently created as a joint endeavor between the
School of<br>
Engineering and the Faculty of Mathematics of UC in Santiago. The
Institute<br>
aims to become in the short term a leading actor in the area of
applied<br>
mathematics in Latin America, by:<br>
<br>
- developing cutting-edge research in the area;<br>
- addressing complex problems in coordination with other disciplin<br>
- es; training highly-qualified students with a solid background
in<br>
science and engineering methods;<br>
- establishing collaboration networks with leading research
institutions<br>
around the world; and<br>
- actively transferring knowledge to society in the form of<br>
technological development and outreach.<br>
<br>
The IMC is responsible for the Mathematical Engineering program at
UC —a<br>
highly selective undergraduate program within the School of
Engineering—<br>
the Master program in Mathematical and Computational Engineering,
and is in<br>
the process of creating other interdisciplinary graduate programs
in<br>
Mathematical and Computational Engineering leading to masters and
doctoral<br>
degrees. Further information about the Institute can be found at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://imc.uc.cl/">http://imc.uc.cl/</a>><br>
*ABOUT DIIS*<br>
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering is one of the
oldest<br>
in Chile and has made a significant contribution to the
development of<br>
Industrial Engineering in the country. Many of the alumni of the
Department<br>
have played an important role in the development of the Chilean
industry<br>
and public policies. The Department's mission is to contribute to
the<br>
social well-being and sustainable growth of organizations and
society,<br>
through the training of people, the study of complex problems with<br>
innovative solutions, and expanding scientific-technological
knowledge. The<br>
Department is responsible for the curriculum of Industrial
Engineering at<br>
the School of Engineering, as well as an undergraduate Major
program in<br>
Operations Research. Graduate studies are offered by way of a
Master of<br>
Science and a Doctoral program. Further information about the
Department<br>
can be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ing.uc.cl/industrial-y-sistemas/">https://www.ing.uc.cl/industrial-y-sistemas/</a>><br>
*ABOUT UC*<br>
The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile is one of the leading
research<br>
and educational institutions in Latin America, consistently
ranking top<br>
three in the QS University Ranking for the region, and the
Engineering<br>
School and Mathematics Faculty are among the best-ranked ones in
the<br>
University. As members of IMC and DIIS, the selected candidate
will be able<br>
to enjoy a very active research environment, with challenging
applications<br>
in several sectors, as well as being able to interact with some of
the best<br>
students in Chile. Further information about UC can be found at<br>
