About this position

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in spatial data science to develop an innovative model for estimating the direct and indirect costs of urbanization. The project focuses on how urban morphology—particularly compact and sprawling forms—affects infrastructure, health, environmental, and broader socio-economic costs.

The researcher will develop and calibrate a predictive model using real-world case studies, then simulate urbanization costs across different climatic, morphological, and social contexts. The work will contribute methodological approaches for understanding urban dynamics and provide decision-making tools for sustainable urban planning, with particular relevance to African issues.

The role combines urban modeling, data science, predictive analytics, machine learning, and complex-systems modeling. The researcher will also produce scientific publications, participate in teaching activities, and develop new research proposals within a stimulating multicultural research environment.

Funding details

The position offers excellent working conditions and a competitive salary on an international scale. Specific salary amount and tuition or stipend details are not provided.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Data Science, Urban Planning, Urban Economics, or a related field. Required experience includes research projects addressing urban, environmental, or socio-economic issues; proficiency with urban modeling tools including MATLAB, Python and relevant libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, SciPy and GeoPandas, and R; advanced predictive modeling and machine learning skills for multivariable simulations; knowledge of complex-systems modeling applied to urban dynamics; and publications in scientific journals. Candidates should demonstrate innovative methodological ability, ambition for research excellence, interest in African issues, an entrepreneurial mindset, dynamism, organizational skills, and fluency in written and spoken French and English.
