About this position

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Benguerir, Morocco, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a 12-month multidisciplinary project on the sustainable valorization of potash brine and phosphogypsum.

The project focuses on environmentally friendly bioleaching and complementary physicochemical and biological approaches for recovering valuable resources from industrial by-products generated by sedimentary potash processing and phosphoric acid production. The research will examine potash brines and phosphogypsum separately, then investigate their combined treatment in integrated bioprocesses.

The researcher will study potential synergistic and symbiotic interactions between the two materials and help develop circular-economy strategies for reducing environmental impacts while creating value from industrial co-products. Targeted resources include sulfur, magnesium, potassium, and other valuable elements.

Activities include characterizing brines and phosphogypsum chemically, mineralogically, and physicochemically; designing laboratory-scale experiments; evaluating process parameters; interpreting results for process optimization; assessing environmental and sustainability performance; and contributing to scientific publications, technical reports, and presentations.

The role offers a research environment combining chemical engineering, solution chemistry, bioprocessing, mineral analysis, and sustainable resource recovery.
