Postdoctoral Position in Experimentation and Modeling of Fertilizer Formulations with the Water-Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in

The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Benguerir, Morocco, is offering a postdoctoral position focused on experimentation and modeling of fertilizer formulations and their interactions within the water-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. UM6P is a leading institution in Africa, dedicated to research, innovation, and sustainable development, with a state-of-the-art campus and a strong academic network.

This postdoctoral opportunity is part of UM6P’s commitment to addressing critical challenges in agriculture, water management, and climate change. The CAES integrates advanced research, education, and innovation across multiple disciplines, aiming to foster sustainable development, enhance food security, and improve natural resource management in Morocco and beyond.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group and contribute to excellence in fertilizer experimentation. Responsibilities include conducting laboratory experiments, collaborating on modeling studies, preparing soil for physico-chemical property measurements, analyzing the dynamics of various fertilizer formulations in soils, preparing high-quality manuscripts, and mentoring master and PhD students. The research will use an integrated approach to study the dynamics of fertilizers and their interactions with processes across the water-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum.

Applicants must hold a doctorate in a relevant field, possess strong knowledge of fertilizer experiments, and have a proven record of high-quality publications in scientific journals. Excellent communication skills in English or French are required. Application materials should include a cover letter, detailed CV, statement of research, and two reference letters.
