Position Description
The Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT: Center for Research in Mathematics https://www.cimat.mx/?lang=en), located in Guanajuato, Mexico, invites applications from researchers in the field of Statistics for three tenure-track positions as Investigador Ordinario (Research Faculty). Candidates must hold a PhD in Science, obtained within the last fifteen years, in Statistics or related areas. They are expected to play an active role in strengthening and/or expanding our research lines, as well as enhancing the national and international reputation of our graduate programs. In particular, applicants are expected to conduct cutting-edge research in Statistics, preferably in one or more of the following areas: spatial and spatio-temporal statistics, environmental statistics, biostatistics, high-dimensional statistics, statistics for data sciences, artificial intelligence and machine learning, industrial statistics, or computational statistics, as well as at the intersection of these fields, encompassing both theoretical developments and practical applications. The selected candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment to both research and teaching. In addition, the candidate is expected to make significant contributions to increasing the research competitiveness of the department. They will also be required to make substantial contributions to our undergraduate and graduate programs (https://www.cimat.mx/oferta-educativa/), teaching one course per semester at any of these levels.

The Probability and Statistics group consists of nine researchers specializing in Probability and Stochastic Processes, and six in Statistics and its applications, distributed between the Guanajuato and Monterrey campuses. The department offers an excellent environment for developing an academic career, particularly for early-career researchers. The group maintains numerous productive collaborations with leading institutions worldwide and is one of the most active research groups in Probability and Statistics in Latin America. Additionally, we provide extensive support for supervising undergraduate and graduate theses, collaboration in teaching and research, and strongly encourage interdisciplinary work. At CIMAT, equal employment opportunities and workforce diversity are fundamental principles. We are committed to equity in academic career development and strongly encourage applications from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups in the field, particularly women.
