Position Summary:
The UM6P Vanguard Center & The School of Applied Sciences & Engineering at UM6P are seeking a Research Engineer in Sustainability Systems and Health-Environment Modeling to guide interdisciplinary projects within the Wicked Problems (WiP) framework. This transdisciplinary role integrates expertise in environmental systems, energy transitions, biological dynamics, and public health to support student-led research addressing sustainability challenges in Morocco, Africa, and beyond.
Key Responsibilities:
· Mentor student teams on sustainability-related WiPs involving public health, climate resilience, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and food-energy-water systems.
· Support the design of quantitative and computational models for complex coupled systemsspanning biological, ecological, epidemiological, and energy-related domains.
· Introduce students to tools such as system dynamics, agent-based modeling, disease spread models, climate-energy scenario tools (e.g., WEAP, LEAP), and biological simulation platforms.
· Integrate real-world datasets from environmental sensors, climate archives, public health records, and remote sensing.
· Co-develop educational modules and case studies that cut across disciplinary boundaries and encourage systems thinking.
· Contribute to research publications, policy briefs, and open-source tools co-authored with students.
· Publish research and co-author student-led publications resulting from WiP investigations.
· Contribute to applied research motivated by the WiP investigations.
Required Qualifications:
· Ph.D. in one or more of the following: Environmental Science, Energy Systems, Public Health Modeling, Biology, Environmental Engineering, Sustainability Science, or a closely related discipline.
· Demonstrated experience with modeling dynamic systems such as disease transmission, resource use, climate transitions, or biological networks.
· Proficiency in relevant tools and languages (e.g., Python, R, system dynamics software, epidemiological or ecological modeling platforms).
· Strong interdisciplinary mindset and enthusiasm for mentoring students tackling real-world complexity.
Desirable Qualifications (at least two of the following):
· Experience in modeling public health or epidemiological systems in relation to environment or infrastructure.
· Familiarity with renewable energy modeling, smart grid planning, or hydrogen and storage technologies.
· Background in computational biology, plant or microbial systems, or biodiversity modeling.
· Exposure to policy-relevant sustainability science, circular economy, or environmental justice frameworks.
· Knowledge of climate-resilient urban planning, food-water-energy nexus, or ecosystem services assessment.
Cross-Sector Themes May Include:
· Climate-health interactions
· Environmental determinants of disease
· Decarbonization pathways
· Sustainable agriculture and biosystem resilience
· Energy access and equity
· One Health approaches and ecological transitions
