Postdoctoral Position in Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling (ARC_AIR) Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in

This postdoctoral position at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is based within the African Research Centre on Air Quality and Climate, located in Benguerir, Morocco. The university is a modern, internationally oriented institution focused on research and innovation for education and development in Morocco and across Africa. The successful candidate will join a collaborative research environment, working alongside students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars to advance atmospheric sciences in Africa.

The research will center on air quality modeling and the application of machine learning to evaluate air pollution across Morocco and Africa. The project involves chemical transport modeling of atmospheric composition, supporting air quality research, policy development, and the evaluation of pollution interventions. The postdoc will use numerical models such as GEOS-Chem, integrating ground and satellite observations to quantify emissions on regional and global scales through inverse analyses. Additional responsibilities include contributing to global atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and model development, as well as publishing research in leading journals and presenting at international conferences.

Candidates should have experience in atmospheric research, data processing, managing multi-instrument data chains, and modeling. The position offers an opportunity to develop independent research activities and contribute to the training of a new generation of African atmospheric scientists.
