Located in the heart of Benguerir’s future Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is an internationally oriented higher education institution dedicated to driving development in Morocco and across Africa. UM6P focuses on research and innovation to support education and sustainable development. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, UM6P has built a strong academic and research network and seeks to recruit high-quality professionals to enhance its research- focused environment, based near Marrakech.

About CRSA:
The Center for Remote Sensing Applications (CRSA) is an interdisciplinary research center within UM6P that spans multiple academic programs. CRSA focuses on addressing food and water security challenges in Africa, with a particular emphasis on the use of multi-source remotely sensed data. The center’s research aims to improve the understanding of surface processes and their interactions with climate and human activities, with an emphasis on the sustainable management of natural resources (soil, land, water, and agriculture) in the context of climate change. One of CRSA’s primary objectives is to provide decision- support tools and services to local, national, and international users in water and food systems.

Job Description:
Over the past few years, advances in computational power and the increasing availability of large volumes of remote sensing data with finer spatial and temporal resolutions have significantly transformed the way we approach climate and weather forecasting. These technological advancements have paved the way for innovations, such as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into real-time data analysis. This integration can revolutionize the interpretation of remote sensing data, allowing for rapid decision-making in critical situations, such as during natural disasters. AI models can process big datasets efficiently, helping to make informed, unbiased decisions, and ensuring resources are distributed to those most in need. Additionally, when combined with modeling experiments or enhanced research in parameterization, AI is accelerating computational processes, improving prediction accuracy, and enabling the creation of extensive model ensembles at a reduced cost.


In this context, we are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the CRSA to develop AI models, specifically deep learning approaches, to analyze and predict key climate variables such as precipitation and temperature which are essential for forecasting extreme events. These models will be applied to Morocco’s arid and semi-arid regions, aiming to produce more accurate predictions of droughts and floods. These enhanced climate and weather predictions will contribute to safeguarding food production, ensuring proactive water management strategies, and reducing the health risks associated with extreme weather conditions, particularly in rural areas heavily reliant on agriculture.

About the role

The Dean of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Distinguished Professor Brian G. Falzon, holds the Chair of Composite Materials and Aerospace Structures. Having recently joined Western Sydney University, Prof Falzon is establishing an Advanced Composites Research Group within his School, continuing and building upon a body of work undertaken at similar groups he established at previous academic institutions.

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow is currently being sought who will pursue research, and proposal development, in Advanced Aerospace Composite Materials and Structures, and support Prof Falzon in the establishment and expansion of this research group. The appointee will also be expected to assist in the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students, and contribute to teaching, if required.

The appointee will be expected to:


	Lead an active research program (as agreed with the Dean),
	Develop research proposals in applied and fundamental research,
	Assist in the supervision of Honours, Master, and PhD students.


Primary Project Details

The increased prevalence of the use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) material, in the latest generation of passenger aircraft and road vehicles, has necessitated a closer examination of the crashworthiness of these structures. In addition, the emergence of hydrogen-powered vehicles, equipped with FRP pressure vessels that carry hydrogen at up to 700 bar pressure, necessitates the reliable assessment of their performance in crash and other off-design ‘event-based’ scenarios.

The Research Fellow will build upon the extensive work that has already been accomplished by Prof Falzon’s research groups, to further develop a multiscale finite-element modelling capability to accurately capture the energy absorption of composite structures.

The concept of a ‘crush stress’ in a finite element model using 2D shell elements, will be expanded and adopted within a computational multiscale framework where laminate coupon tests, required to extract crush stresses for various geometries and layups, are simulated using a high-fidelity damage model developed by Prof Falzon. Further research and development are required to (i) establish a reliable modelling strategy to capture crush initiation in coupons with specific trigger geometries; (ii) accurately model the response of plies crushed in a direction not aligned with the principal fibre direction; (iii) capture the response of the crushing of 2D/3D woven FRPs which exhibits a more complex response than unidirectional (UD) plies; and (iv) explore strain rate – material property relationships.

This capability will be used to aid the design of energy-absorbing CFRP structures and will be validated using a set of manufactured energy-absorbing composite sub-assembly representative structures and other test results available in the literature.

In parallel to the computation work, the Research Fellow, assisted by PhD students, will explore experimental approaches for the acquisition of interlaminar and intralaminar dynamic fracture toughness values required for the computational analysis.

Skills and Experiences

The ideal candidate will hold a doctoral qualification in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline, have demonstrated expertise in the finite element modelling of FRP composite structures and possess an advanced understanding of the fracture and damage mechanics of these materials, experience in developing user subroutines in ABAQUS and proficiency in FORTRAN coding are essential.
