Mohammed VI Polytechnic University
AGBS – CSAES - Postdoctoral Researcher in Metal-Microbe Interactions and Bioreme
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco, Indiana, United States, 47963
Overview
Postdoctoral Researcher position at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in the College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences (CAES). Host program: College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. Job title: AGBS – CSAES - Postdoctoral Researcher in Metal-Microbe Interactions and Bioremediation. Duration: 2 years (CDD).
Description The Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) has an opening for post-doctoral fellow in the field of Environmental Microbial Biotechnology with a strong background in metal stress alleviation and omics technologies. The project focuses on exploring microbial communities and their molecular mechanisms for detoxifying and transforming heavy metals under environmental or engineered conditions. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing projects and develop independent lines of investigation within the scope of microbial ecology, environmental microbiology, and bioremediation. Strong expertise in biostatistical analysis and molecular biology is highly required. The postoctorate will perform experiments and analysis both in Morocco (UM6P) and in France (CEREGE, Aix en Provence).
Key Responsibilities
Design and perform laboratory and field experiments related to microbial remediation of metal stress.
Isolate, characterize, and manipulate microbial strains with metal resistance capabilities.
Conduct metagenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses to understand microbial responses to metal stress.
Apply biotechnological or bioaugmentation strategies to enhance remediation performance.
Publish findings in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including environmental scientists, chemists, and engineers.
Contribute to mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
Education, qualifications and experience
Ph.D. in Microbiology, environmental engineering, environmental biotechnology, environmental science, or a related field.
