Généré automatiquement par Postule AI à partir de l’offre.
About the Position
This postdoctoral position at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) focuses on developing advanced porous adsorbents from industrial byproducts for environmental applications. You will work within the ACER (Advanced Chemistry and Engineering Research) center, a multidisciplinary research hub addressing challenges in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering.
Main Responsibilities
- Develop innovative strategies for transforming industrial byproducts into high-performance porous adsorbent materials
- Design and optimize structuring and shaping approaches (pellets, monoliths, composite beads/fibers, thin films) while preserving material performance
- Perform advanced physicochemical characterization (XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, spectroscopy) to establish structure-property relationships
- Evaluate materials in gas and vapor adsorption applications, including toxic gas capture, VOC adsorption, wastewater treatment, and catalytic degradation
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams on life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA)
- Prepare and present research findings at international conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or closely related field
- Strong background in synthesis and characterization of porous materials (silica-based adsorbents, hybrid materials, waste-derived adsorbents)
- Experience with adsorption processes, environmental remediation, and gas/vapor/liquid separation systems
- Proficiency in advanced characterization techniques (XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, BET, TGA, XPS)
- Hands-on experience in adsorbent material structuring/shaping (extrusion, pelletization, electrospinning) is highly desirable
- Excellent English communication skills with a publication record in peer-reviewed journals
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to work independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary environments
