About this position
The Data Intelligence Group at the College of Computing of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is seeking two postdoctoral fellows to support research in machine learning, with a particular emphasis on multimodal representation learning and retrieval.
The fellows will conduct scientific research and develop novel algorithms for representation learning, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and search. The work will include theoretical and experimental performance analysis, with opportunities to publish results in high-quality conferences and journals and present them at national and international scientific events.
The role is embedded in a growing, supportive group with internationally recognized expertise in data management and machine learning. The group collaborates with academic and industrial partners and contributes to undergraduate and graduate supervision, research proposal development, teaching and training activities, course creation, and the organization of workshops and seminars related to machine learning.
Research will take place within the College of Computing at the university’s campus in Benguerir, Morocco, in an international research environment serving Morocco and the African continent.
