Strong French and English communication skills, both verbal and written, are required. Key Duties The successful candidate is expected to: Contribute to the construction of a national GIS-based database of sulfur occurrences and sulfur-bearing formations in Moroccan sedimentary basins (integration of geological, geophysical, geochemical and industrial data). Participate in the definition and refinement of exploration criteria and ranking methodology for native sulfur prospects (geological, mineralogical, geochemical, and structural controls). Plan and conduct field campaigns in selected basins (e.g., Neogene basins in the Rif, other prospective sedimentary basins) through sedimentological logging and systematic sampling. Coordinate and monitor laboratory analyses (in collaboration with GSMI platforms and external labs): Major elements (XRF-WDS); Total sulfur (C–S elemental analyzer); Minor and trace elements (ICP–MS); Sulfur isotopes (EA–IRMS) Integrate and interpret multidisciplinary datasets to characterize controls on native sulfur formation, produce prospectivity and risk maps at basin and national scale and contribute to the prioritization of sulfur targets and to the preparation of a ranked list of prospective areas. Prepare technical reports and deliverables for the project (including national-scale maps, databases, and synthesis documents) in line with the project Gantt and milestones.
