ARC_AIR Postdoctoral Research Position in Agricultural Emissions Monitoring

The African Research Center on Air Quality and Climate (ARC_AIR) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Benguerir, Morocco seeks a postdoctoral researcher to monitor agricultural emissions across Africa using satellite remote sensing, atmospheric modeling, and deep learning. Research focus: estimate cropland emissions (NH3, N2O, CO2, CH4) through satellite observations, atmospheric chemistry models, and physics-informed deep learning, validated via field campaigns across African cropping systems. Key responsibilities include conducting atmospheric chemistry simulations, developing deep learning models for emission predictions, participating in field campaigns across Africa, publishing in high-impact journals, and contributing to open data visualization platforms that support policy decisions. Required qualifications: PhD in Atmospheric Science, Environmental Science, Remote Sensing, or related field; experience in atmospheric modeling, satellite remote sensing, or machine learning; programming skills (Python or R); strong publication record. Full-time postdoctoral position at a leading African research institution. Closes April 24, 2026.
