About this position
ASARI Institute, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), Laayoune, Morocco is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Nutrition and Fertilization to join an interdisciplinary research environment focused on sustainable agriculture in marginal and stressed soils.
The project centers on improving soil fertility management in challenging agricultural systems, especially under salinity and drought. The appointed postdoctoral researcher will work on the use of phosphate rock (RP) and its integration across diverse cropping systems, including legumes, cereals, grasses, and vegetables. The research combines field, greenhouse, and laboratory trials to evaluate fertilization strategies, crop responses, soil health, and nutrient dynamics.
The successful candidate will design and implement experiments, analyze plant and soil samples, assess nutrient uptake and fertilizer efficiency, and use statistical and modelling tools to interpret results. The role also includes writing and publishing research papers, presenting results at conferences and workshops, contributing to project planning and reporting, and collaborating with scientists, agronomists, and environmental specialists. The postdoc is also expected to help supervise and mentor PhD students and research assistants involved in the project.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Plant Nutrition, Soil Science, Agronomy, Crop Science, or a closely related field; practical experience with field/greenhouse/laboratory experimentation; familiarity with soil and plant analysis; strong data analysis skills; and a solid publication record. Excellent English communication is required, and French or Arabic is considered an advantage.
Appointment details: the position is based at the ASARI Institute in Laayoune, Morocco, with possible fieldwork in marginal and desert agricultural regions. The initial appointment is for one year, with possible extension depending on performance and funding availability.
How to apply: submit a CV with publications, a cover letter, and at least three professional references through the provided application link. This opportunity is well suited to researchers interested in sustainable soil fertility, plant nutrition, and resilient agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid environments.
