Position Description:

The Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) of the University of Chile invites applications for at least 4 postdoctoral positions, 1 of which is reserved for female applicants.

CMM is one of the leading mathematical research institutions in Latin America, developing both theoretical and applied lines of research. For more information on the center see: http://www.cmm.uchile.cl

Ideal candidates should show outstanding research potential and have interests aligned with the theoretical lines of research present at CMM: Algorithms and Combinatorics, Mathematical Mechanics and Inverse Problems, Nonlinear Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis of PDEs, Optimization and Equilibrium, Probability and Ergodic Theory.

The positions are available for individuals who obtained a doctorate degree after January 1st, 2023 (with exceptions for maternity leave and other special circumstances), or expect to obtain a doctorate degree by the date of the appointment. Spanish language skills are not required.

The starting date is flexible, but preferably not later than September 2026. The positions are research positions and do not carry any teaching responsibilities (although teaching opportunities can be provided) and can be held either at the CMM’s base at the University of Chile in Santiago or at one of the associated Chilean universities. The gross monthly salary is $2.000.000 CLP. CMM covers the postdocs’ travel expenses for coming to Chile, and limited travel expenses during their time at CMM.

The duration of each position is two years. In addition, during their time at CMM, the postdoc can apply for a 3-year FONDECYT postdoc scholarship by the government-funded agency ANID.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae (including a list of publications) and a research statement, using the online form on our website: https://www.cmm.uchile.cl/?p=63765

Applicants should also arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to postdocs@cmm.uchile.cl, identifying the name of the applicant in the subject line. All applications and letters need to be submitted by November 17, 2025. Decisions on the positions are expected for January 2025.

Inquiries about the position can be sent to postdocs@cmm.uchile.cl

CMM is committed to foster diversity at all levels. Applications from women and other STEM minority candidates are strongly encouraged. The center has a gender and diversity committee educating and training its members, promotes diversity in all its teams, and is dedicated to improving the work-life balance of its members, including access to parental leave.

We are not accepting applications for this job through MathJobs.Org right now. Please apply at https://www.cmm.uchile.cl/?p=63765 .
