About UM6P:Located at the heart of the future Green City of Benguerir, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), a higher education institution with an international standard, is established to serve Morocco and the African continent. Its vision is honed around research and innovation at the service of education and development. This unique nascent university, with its state-ofthe-art campus and infrastructure, has woven a sound academic and research network, and its recruitment process is seeking high-quality academics and professionals to boost its qualityoriented research environment in the metropolitan area of Marrakech.Research:The selected candidate will conduct research within the UM6P African Research Centre on Air Quality and Climate. Collaborating with students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars worldwide, the Centre is committed to training a new generation of African Atmospheric Scientists and faculty members. Research endeavors primarily focus on experimental andModelling aspects. A notable characteristic of the Centre's research is the strong collaboration among all members. The selected candidate will have to develop independent research activities on the air pollution modelling.Candidate Profile:The Center is looking for a Post-doc to work at the interface between Air Quality modeling and machine learning to evaluate air pollution in Morocco and Africa using modelling tools. The project objectives fall around the chemical transport modelling of the composition of the air over Morocco and Africa, better supporting air quality research, policy development and evaluation of air pollution interventions. This role uses numerical models of atmospheric chemistry and transport (GEOS-Chem, and others) to increase understanding of how Morocco and Africa air pollution will respond to future changes in emissions.Duties and Responsibilities:The successful candidate will work on using ground and satellite observations of atmospheric chemical species to better quantify emissions on regional to global scales through inverse analyses. She/He will also work on other issues related to global atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and model development. Responsibilities include initiating and developing high-quality research, publishing in leading journals, and presenting at international conferences.Qualifications, Experience and Skills:Interest in atmospheric research and atmospheric sciences in Africa and the Mediterranean region.
