Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) advertised postdoctoral research positions in AI for cybersecurity and quantum cryptography through its College of Computing in Benguerir. According to the listing, the School of Computer and Communication Sciences sought researchers to work on quantum cryptography, quantum blockchain, and artificial intelligence for cybersecurity.
Candidates were required to hold a PhD in cryptography, computer security, or a related field, with strong publication records and programming skills. Each position carried a net monthly salary of $2,000, with one-year initial appointments renewable based on performance. Postdoctoral researchers were expected to publish in high-impact journals and participate in the supervision of PhD students.
UM6P has expanded its quantum-related hiring in subsequent years. In 2025, the College of Computing advertised an additional postdoctoral position specifically focused on quantum and secure communication systems with machine learning, covering quantum key distribution and advanced cryptographic methods.
