PhD in Multiscale Modeling of Condensed Matter for Energy and Environmental Applications Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in

PhD opening in Multiscale Modeling of Condensed Matter for Energy and Environmental Applications at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), MSN Department, Ben Guerir, Morocco.

The project is aimed at a motivated PhD candidate to join a computational-experimental research team working on condensed matter, materials science, physics, and related chemistry topics. The research will use a multiscale computational framework combining Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) to study electronic structure, defect physics, and interface properties of materials for energy and environmental applications.

In addition to materials investigation, the PhD may also involve developing advanced simulation tools and more efficient computational approaches, suggesting a strong methodological and modeling component. This is a good fit for applicants interested in computational materials modeling, atomistic simulation, and theory-driven research on functional materials.

Supervision team: Prof. Zineb Kerrami and Prof. Johan Jacquemin, both affiliated with UM6P.

Duration: 4 years total, including 1 year predoctoral phase + 3 years PhD. Start: October 2026.

Eligibility highlights: motivated candidate with interest in computational materials science, DFT, MD, condensed matter, and energy/environmental applications. No additional formal requirements, funding details, or application portal are specified in the post.

Application note: the post shares the LinkedIn announcement and supervisor profile links, but does not provide a direct application form or deadline beyond the October 2026 start.
