About this position
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is offering a postdoctoral position in Process Mineralogy, Mineral Processing, and Artificial Intelligence through the Geology and Sustainable Mining Institute (GSMI) in Benguerir, Morocco, in collaboration with Mineral-X at Stanford University.
The project focuses on improving the recovery of phosphate from flotation tailings by combining process mineralogical characterization, flotation testing, and AI-based optimization. The successful candidate will work on the feed, concentrate, and tailings streams; assess the effect of different grinding energies on phosphate liberation; and develop an intelligent framework to optimize grinding time while minimizing slime generation.
This is a research-intensive role at the intersection of mineralogy, mineral processing, and data-driven methods. The team is seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a PhD in process mineralogy, mineral processing, mining engineering, chemical engineering, geological engineering, or a related field with relevant mining/mineral-processing experience. Applicants should also bring knowledge of froth flotation, programming skills in Python or Julia, experience with statistical modelling and experimental design, and the ability to contribute in a multidisciplinary research environment.
The appointment is for 12 months, with the possibility of renewal for an additional 12 months. The position is available to start as soon as possible. The application deadline is not specified in the posting.
To apply, candidates must submit a cover letter describing their research interests and qualifications, a CV including publications and research projects, and contact information for one reference through the recruitment platform.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
