Strong French and English communication skills, both verbal and written, are required. Key duties: Successful candidate is expected to: Setup, validation, and evaluation of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models for the elucidation of bioreactor heterogeneities and performances Development and application of modelling/simulation approaches for approximating CFD results Analyze and interpret data from scale-down and scale-up experiments Publish scientific results in peer-reviewed journals in a timely manner Present research results at national scientific meetings Conduct original research within an international framework Have a creative, open, and resilient mind Criteria of the candidate: PhD degree in modelling, simulation, and process engineering from a recognized University. Strong expertise in modeling and simulation of fluid dynamics, preferably for bioreactor environments Have knowledge and familiarity with aerobic and anaerobic treatment Good written and spoken English as well as presentation skills Excellent interpersonal, and organizational skills with an ability to work efficiently both independently and in a team 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-of-the-art campus and infrastructure, has woven a sound academic and research network, and its recruitment process is seeking high quality academics and professionals in order to boost its quality-oriented research environment. UM6P is a very ambitious university, enjoying ample research funding, moderate teaching load, and excellent facilities. In its research approach, the UM6P promotes transdisciplinary, entrepreneurship spirit and collaboration with external institutions, both international ones for developing up to date science, and at continent level to address real African challenges. UM6P offers highly competitive salaries at the international level. Our researchers get incentives through a participation to the intellectual property they develop. About ASARI (UM6P Laâyoune): The African Sustainable Agriculture Research Institute (ASARI) is a component of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Laayoune City, south of Morocco. It constitutes a structure of applied research with a vision of solving real Local, Regional, and African agriculture challenges leveraging up-to-date science and technology. To implement its vision, ASARI puts a lot of emphasis on interdisciplinary research in sectors of strategic interest for the southern regions of Morocco and for the African continent such as: Plant & animal biotechnology (biosaline agriculture, animal production & nutrition, valorization of native aromatic & medicinal plants and algae, etc.) Sustainable technologies in water, environment, and energy sectors. Application process: Applications should contain the following documents: Curriculum Vitae A letter (maximum 1 page) explaining the motivation for the position Contact information of 3 references (Applicants are assumed to have obtained their references’ consent to be contacted for this matter) Applications are to be submitted on the recruitment platform stating in object “Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioreactor Modelling and Simulation”.

We seek a Research Fellow with a proven publication record to apply novel approaches to integration of seismic velocity and resistivity models derived from a recently acquired coincident wide-angle seismic, controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) and magnetotelluric (MT) dataset. We are particularly looking for someone with skills in the application of rock physics models to seismic and/or resistivity data but will also consider applicants with experience more focused in relevant geophysical data analysis. The Research Fellow will join an international team in the project “Quantifying evolution of magmatism and serpentinization during the onset of seafloor spreading”, funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council and the US National Science Foundation. The overall aim of this project is to quantify the evolution of serpentinisation and magmatism at a magma-poor rifted margin as seafloor spreading is initiated. Serpentinised mantle rocks are generally more conductive, often by about an order of magnitude, than mafic crustal rocks, so CSEM and MT techniques provide a promising route to resolve controversies around lithospheric structure. In August-September 2023, we conducted the first joint CSEM, MT and seismic experiment in the continent-ocean transition at a rifted margin, to determine how competing processes of magmatism and serpentinisation evolve during the initiation of seafloor spreading. We focused our work at the sediment-starved Goban Spur rifted margin southwest of the UK, which is uniquely suited to such a study because of its thin sediment cover, narrow continent-ocean transition and existing covering with deep seismic reflection data. The position is based in the School of Ocean and Earth Science, which is located at the University of Southampton’s Waterfront Campus at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. The research fellow will collaborate with project partners at the National Oceanography Centre, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Bremen.  Informal enquiries should be directed to Prof. Tim Minshull (tmin@soton.ac.uk). We are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and equality of opportunity. We select candidates based on merit and ability and aspire to thrive in the diversity of our workforce. We welcome applications from all candidates with an interest in the role and those who are committed to helping us create an inclusive work environment.
