About this position
PhD opportunity in environmental monitoring, geospatial analysis, environmental data science, and decision-support at Mines-Rabat (ENSMR, ex-ENIM), with field sites in the Atlas Cedar Biosphere Reserve (ACBR), Morocco.
The project focuses on integrated environmental monitoring, multi-source data analysis, and spatial decision-support for ecological assessment. The research sits at the intersection of GIS, remote sensing, Earth observation, environmental data engineering, and quantitative analysis. The PhD will work with real monitoring datasets and field observations to build reproducible methods, indicators, and workflows that can support ecological monitoring and environmental management.
Key objectives include: structuring and harmonizing heterogeneous environmental data; developing spatial indicators and reproducible workflows for ecological assessment and monitoring prioritization; and validating the methods using operational datasets to produce practical decision-support outputs.
Eligible candidates should have a Master’s degree, State Engineering diploma, or equivalent in environmental engineering, geosciences, geomatics, remote sensing, GIS, data science, environmental modeling, or a related area. Strong skills in QGIS/ArcGIS and spatial data processing are important, and experience with Sentinel, Landsat, Google Earth Engine, Python, R, JavaScript, databases, machine learning, or image analysis is an advantage. The post also highlights interest in biodiversity, ecological systems, fieldwork, and multidisciplinary collaboration, plus proficiency in English, French, and Arabic.
Funding: a doctoral scholarship may be granted, covering partial research expenses and providing a monthly stipend.
Deadline: 30/09/2026. Apply by sending a CV and cover letter to [email protected] and submitting the application through the online portal.
