About UM6P:

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution dedicated to research and innovation in Africa and aims to position itself among world-renowned universities in its fields

The University is engaged in economic and human development and puts research and innovation at the forefront of African development. A mechanism that enables it to consolidate Morocco's frontline position in these fields, in a unique partnership-based approach and boosting skills training relevant for the future of Africa.

Located in the municipality of Benguerir, in the very heart of the Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University aspires to leave its mark nationally, continentally, and globally.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position in the fields of linear algebra and high-performance computing (HPC). This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects at the intersection of numerical linear algebra and advanced HPC. The candidate will join an international environment, with opportunities to collaborate with experts from the USA, and KAUST and publish in top-tier conferences and journals. 

Overview:

The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team focused on developing innovative numerical algorithms and software to address emerging challenges in scientific computing and machine learning. The research will emphasize both theoretical advancements and practical implementations optimized for modern HPC systems.

The postdoc will primarily contribute to one or more of the following research areas:

  • Development of efficient numerical linear algebra algorithms, including sparse/dense linear systems solving and preconditioners.
  • Scalable implementations of linear algebra methods targeting large-scale HPC systems.
  • Optimization of linear algebra libraries for modern architectures (e.g., GPUs).
  • Exploration of linear algebra methods in computational physics applications and machine learning.
  • Integrate and benchmark the GINGKO library, a sparse solver that supports mixed precisions

Responsibilities:

  • Conduct original research in numerical linear algebra and HPC.
  • Design, implement, and optimize linear algebra algorithms.
  • Publish research results in high-impact journals and conferences.
  • Mentor students in related research projects.

Qualifications :

  • A Ph.D. (awarded or near completion) in applied mathematics, computer science, or a closely related field.
  • Strong background in numerical linear algebra, algorithm design, and parallel computing.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as python.
  • Experience with HPC environments and linear algebra.
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct independent research and publish in peer-reviewed journals.

Position Details :

  • Location: College of computing, UM6P, Benguerir
  • Duration: Initial appointment for 1 year, renewable for 1 year based on performance and funding availability.
  • Start Date: as soon as possible. 

Application Instructions:

Applicants should submit the following materials in a single PDF document:

  1. A cover letter highlighting relevant experience and research interests.
  2. A detailed curriculum vitae (CV) including a list of publications and conferences.
  3. A statement of research interests (1-2 pages).
  4. Contact information for at least three professional references.
