In 2011, Gil was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in History, to be done on a history book focusing on Andean miners and herders.[4] After serving as vice-president from 2017 to 2019, she was president of the Asociación Argentina de Investigadores en Historia from 2019 to 2021.[2][7] In 2024, she was appointed corresponding academician of the National Academy of History of Argentina for Tucuman.[8] She was a Käte Hamburger Center Fellow at the University of Münster in 2024 and 2025.[3]
