UM6SS launches a call for applications for the position of Associate Professors in Casablanca
UM6SS energizes academic employment in Casablanca with new positions
The higher education and medical research sector in Morocco is experiencing a new momentum at the beginning of 2026. Mohammed VI University of Science and Health (UM6SS), recognized for its pedagogical excellence, officially opens a competition for the recruitment of several Associate Professors. These opportunities, based in Casablanca, are part of the strengthening of the teaching staff at the Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine for the February 2026 session.
This strategic recruitment aims to consolidate the educational teams within the establishment located in Anfa City. It is intended for medical specialists eager to combine clinical practice, university teaching, and scientific research. For health professionals, it is a unique opportunity to join a structure that values innovation and knowledge transfer, far from the usual circuits offered by some headhunting agencies in Rabat or elsewhere.
Details of the specialties and fields sought in 2026
The Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine is not limited to a single language of instruction. The university’s international openness is reflected in the diversity of the positions offered, divided between Francophone and Anglophone tracks. This bilingual approach is crucial to prepare future doctors for global standards, facilitating subsequently their participation in international congresses or their understanding of Schengen Visa procedures for 2025 within the framework of European partnerships.
Here is the distribution of open positions by specialty and language of instruction for this competition:
| Medical Specialty 🩺 | Teaching Track 🎓 |
|---|---|
| Pathological Anatomy | Francophone |
| Anesthesia and Resuscitation | Anglophone |
| Cardiology | Francophone & Anglophone |
| Cardiovascular Surgery | Francophone |
| Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery | Francophone |
| General Surgery | Anglophone |
| Gastroenterology | Francophone & Anglophone |
| Internal Medicine | Anglophone |
| Emergency and Disaster Medicine | Francophone |
| Neurology | Anglophone |
| Medical Oncology | Anglophone |
| Traumatology-Orthopedics | Francophone & Anglophone |
Other disciplines such as Endocrinology, Nephrology, ENT, Radiology, and Rheumatology are also part of this call for applications. The selected profiles will be tasked with ensuring educational supervision and actively participating in care activities within the structures of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Science and Health.
Eligibility criteria for future teacher-researchers
Access to this prestigious body of researchers and teachers is not open to everyone. UM6SS imposes strict standards to guarantee the quality of its training. The competition is open to civilian candidates who are not contractually linked with the Ministry of Health or other government departments, unless they present a resignation or a clear administrative situation. University graduates who have validated their residency as well as hospital practitioners of the Foundation are particularly encouraged to apply.
It is important to note that foreign degrees are accepted subject to presenting a certificate of equivalence. This is an essential point for doctors who have completed their training in Europe, for example in Belgium, and who are familiar with the immigration procedures to Belgium for their previous studies. This openness makes it possible to attract talents with diversified international experience.
Application procedure and key dates
The recruitment process is intended to be modern yet rigorous. The first step consists of a mandatory pre-registration on the university’s official website (www.um6ss.ma). However, final validation of the application requires the physical submission of a complete file. The deadline is set for Monday, January 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM. No delays will be tolerated, highlighting the punctuality requirement specific to the medical field.
Applicants must carefully prepare their administrative and scientific dossier. Here is the list of required documents to apply for this position:
- 📝 A handwritten request addressed to the Dean of the Faculty, specifying the specialty.
- 📄 A certified true copy of the medical specialty diploma and medical doctorate.
- 🆔 A certified true copy of the National Identity Card (CINE).
- 📚 A portfolio of titles and works in seven copies, accompanied by a digital version on a USB drive.
- 🎓 One copy of the medical thesis.
- 🏢 A legalized certificate of non-government employee status.
- 👨🏫 Certificates justifying previous teaching and educational supervision roles.
The administrative rigor required here recalls that necessary to compile complex files, such as those managed by talent acquisition experts or during consular procedures. Particular attention must be paid to the certification of copies.
The impact on the Moroccan health ecosystem
Recruiting new Associate Professors is not only about filling classrooms. It is a direct lever to improve the quality of care in Morocco. By integrating competent profiles, UM6SS strengthens the link between academic theory and clinical practice. Moreover, these positions offer stability and an attractive career perspective, often more sustainable than what can be found by navigating alone in the private market.
For doctors considering settling permanently in Morocco after an experience abroad, this type of position is a boon. It avoids complications related to the international mobility of researchers who must constantly renew their precarious statuses elsewhere. Here, they contribute directly to the training of the next generation of Moroccan practitioners.
What is the deadline for submitting the application file?
Complete files must be submitted imperatively before Monday, January 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM to the 3rd Cycle Service of the Faculty.
Is online pre-registration sufficient to validate my application?
No, pre-registration on the website www.um6ss.ma is mandatory but does not replace the physical submission of the paper and digital file (USB key).
Where is the application file submission held?
The submission takes place on the 4th floor of building A, Anfa City, at the Mohammed VI Faculty of Medicine in Casablanca.
Can government-employed doctors apply?
The competition is open to civilian candidates. Doctors under contract with the Ministry of Health generally need to have resolved their administrative situation (resignation or absence of engagement) to be eligible, with a certificate of non-government employment required.
