This postdoctoral project develops the chemical-catalysis component of the ANR TOOLS4HYBCAT project, which targets the conversion of biomass-derived D-glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). The research will focus on the acid-catalysed dehydration of D-fructose, the intermediate produced by enzymatic isomerization of D-glucose. The postdoctoral researcher will identify suitable chemical catalysts, assess their stability and compatibility with the intended operating conditions, and evaluat...

This postdoctoral project is centred on real-time, operando and in situ monitoring of chemical cross-talk in lithium-ion batteries . The successful candidate will develop and apply a new coupled spectro-electrochemical technique to characterise how redox species generated at the positive electrode migrate toward the negative electrode and influence its behaviour during battery operation. The work combines an electrochemical sensor approach with confocal microscopy using Raman and fluorescence . ...

About this position
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), through its Sustainable Materials Research Center (SusMaT-RC), is inviting applications for two Post-Doctoral Fellow positions focused on the development of multifunctional bio-sourced hydrogels for agricultural applications.
The project is a collaborative effort with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is supervised by Professor Youssef Habibi. It aims to convert locally abundant biomass into high-added-value components and integrate them with fertilizers and/or bio-based additives using sustainable pathways. The work is positioned at the intersection of advanced materials, chemistry, and agriculture, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, performance testing, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
UM6P describes itself as an internationally oriented university committed to applied research, innovation, and solutions aligned with the sustainable economic development of Morocco and Africa. The SusMaT-RC research center focuses on developing advanced biobased products and materials, understanding structure-property relationships across scales, and using that knowledge to address technological challenges and support a green and circular economy.
Successful candidates will conduct rigorous testing to ensure system performance, contribute to a collaborative research environment, and travel to the United States for short-term work assignments. The posting highlights work on hydrogel formulation, (bio)polymer processing, porous material design and characterization, and the use of analytical, spectroscopic, and microscopic techniques.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related area. Experience supervising students, producing technical reports and publications, contributing to grant-funded research, and working independently in an interdisciplinary team are all emphasized. Strong English communication, time management, organizational ability, and attention to quality are also important.
To apply, candidates must submit a detailed CV, cover letter, a synthetic presentation of their background, research projects, publications and achievements, research and teaching plans, any entrepreneurial ideas and contributions to UM6P, a one-page motivation statement, and contact details for three referees. The application link is provided in the posting. The deadline is not specified.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a related field, and should have relevant postdoctoral experience. Required expertise includes hands-on experience with hydrogel formulation, (bio)polymer processing, and porous material design, fabrication, and characterization, along with proficiency in analytical, spectroscopic, and microscopic techniques. Candidates should have proven experience supervising undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students, be able to keep detailed experimental records, and draft technical reports, research papers, and conference presentations. The role also requires initiative, self-motivation, the ability to work independently in an interdisciplinary team, experience contributing to funded research programs and writing proposals, strong organizational and time-management skills, excellent English communication skills, and a strong focus on quality outputs.
