About the Position
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct experimental research on plasma propagation in open atmosphere and plasma-surface interactions using advanced optical and laser diagnostic techniques. This role is within the Applied Chemistry and Engineering Research Center of Excellence (ACER-CoE), focusing on understanding physical and chemical processes in non-thermal plasmas.
Main Responsibilities
- Study plasma propagation and discharge dynamics in non-thermal plasma systems
- Apply optical and laser diagnostic techniques to characterize plasma species and parameters
- Investigate plasma-surface interaction mechanisms and surface modification processes
- Analyze experimental data and contribute to scientific publications
Key Research Activities
The successful candidate will investigate plasma propagation dynamics and reactive species generation under different operating conditions using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and laser-based diagnostic techniques. Research will characterize plasma properties, identify reactive species, and measure key plasma parameters including absolute densities of atoms and molecules.
Surface characterization will be conducted using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to explore plasma-material interactions and surface property modifications.
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Plasma Physics, Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related fields
- Experience in plasma experiments, spectroscopy, or laser diagnostics
- Proficiency with material characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, FTIR, ICP-OES)
- Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, LABVIEW or equivalent technical computing environments
- Excellent English communication skills and ability to work independently and collaboratively
What We Offer
ACER CoE provides an interdisciplinary, innovative, and dynamic research environment with systematic training, personal development opportunities, and modern employment conditions. The center features state-of-the-art infrastructure and supports optimal work-life balance.
Starting date: Immediately, with flexibility to postpone until June 2026.
