The College of Computing (COLCOM) at University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) in Morocco is offering multiple postdoctoral research positions in diverse and cutting-edge areas, including wireless sensor networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, omics and soil microbiome research, artificial intelligence for cybersecurity and quantum cryptography, computational biology, and computational modeling of co-precipitation processes for advanced materials. These positions are part of UM6P’s commitment to fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and high-impact scientific research in Africa and beyond.

Each postdoctoral opportunity is embedded within a dynamic research environment, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a strong network of academic and industrial partners. The WSN and IoT position, supervised by Prof. Youssef Iraqi, focuses on optimizing communication and decision fusion in smart networks. The machine learning postdoc, under Dr. Karima Echihabi, is dedicated to multimodal representation learning and retrieval, with a strong emphasis on algorithm development and data intelligence. The omics and soil microbiome research postdoc, supervised by Dr. Achraf El Alali, targets metaproteomics, genomics, and plant-microbe interactions to develop sustainable biofertilizers and improve soil health under salinity stress.

Other positions include research in AI applications for cybersecurity and quantum cryptography, computational biology for mutation response simulation, and advanced computational modeling for materials science. All positions require a Ph.D. in a relevant field, a strong publication record, and excellent analytical, programming, and communication skills. Some positions are open to final-year Ph.D. students expecting to graduate by September 2026. The net salary for the cybersecurity and quantum cryptography postdoc is 2000 USD/month, with other positions offering competitive funding and renewable contracts.

Applicants should prepare a cover letter, detailed CV, research statement, and references, and submit their application online and via email to the relevant supervisor. The application deadline for all positions is March 11, 2026. For more information, candidates can consult the provided links to the university and job listings. These postdoctoral roles offer an excellent opportunity to advance research careers in a vibrant, international academic setting, contributing to impactful projects in computing, AI, biology, and materials science.
