About the Position
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in an interdisciplinary research project focused on metaproteomic analysis of soil microbial communities. This 2-year position starts between May and July 2025.
The project aims to identify key genes and enzymes involved in mitigating salinity stress and improving soil health and crop productivity. Research will involve state-of-the-art metaproteomics, bioinformatics, and functional microbiome studies conducted in field trials, greenhouse experiments, and laboratory settings.
Research Focus
This role focuses on interactions between rhizosphere microbiota and plant roots, investigating how microbial enzymes enhance plant stress tolerance under salinity conditions. The research is part of a broader initiative to develop biofertilizers and sustainable agricultural strategies to combat soil degradation and salinization.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct metaproteomic and genomic sequencing of microbial communities associated with plant roots
- Identify microbial enzymes and functional pathways involved in nutrient acquisition and stress adaptation
- Analyze plant-microbe interactions in response to salinity stress
- Collaborate on biofertilizer development incorporating beneficial microbial enzymes
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Soil Science, Plant Science, Environmental Science, or a related field
- Expertise in microbiome data analysis, metagenomics, or metaproteomics
- Proficiency in bioinformatics tools for multi-omics data processing
- Strong publication record in relevant fields
- Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and collaborate across research groups
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in functional characterization of microbial enzymes
- Familiarity with microbial ecology and soil biochemistry in stress adaptation
- Background in field and greenhouse experimental design
Application Process
Applicants should submit the following documents:
- Cover letter detailing research interests and relevant experience
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) with a full list of publications
- Contact information for three references
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with a final deadline of March 31, 2025.
