During 1969, de Oliveira worked as a research associate at FLACSO's in Santiago and in 1970 moved to Mexico. She began a professorship in February 1970 at the Center for Economic and Demographic Studies at El Colegio de México (COLMEX).[3] In 1972, she became a naturalized Mexican citizen.[2] De Oliveira earned her PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1975.[3] After completing her doctorate, de Oliveira returned to the Colegio de México and has worked in the Center for Sociological Studies since that time, earning her promotion to the National System of Researchers (SNI) in 1984. Between 1986 and 1987 she served as Academic Coordinator of the Center for Sociological Studies (CES) and from 1988 to 1993 was the Director of CES.[3]

She has held numerous posts as both a visiting researcher and a visiting professor.

From 2000 to 2002, de Oliveira was a researcher with the United Nations Research Institute For Social Development working on research about globalization and its effects on the employment of women.[7] She returned to the University of Paris in the academic year 2001-2002, when she was honored as the Alfonso Reyes Chair for the Institut des Hautes Etudes de L'Amerique Latine, Paris.[8] She was honored in the 2003-2004 academic year as the Madero Visiting Scholar for the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[9] From 2004 to 2005, she was visiting researcher at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil.[3]
