Applications reopened for two head-of-service posts in Aït Melloul

By decision of the President of Ibn Zohr University in Agadir, applications are reopened to fill two (2) head-of-service posts at the Faculty of Languages, Arts and Humanities in Aït Melloul. The posts are head of the financial affairs service and head of the scientific research, cooperation and partnership service. The reopening follows Decree No. 2.11.681 of 25 November 2011 on the modalities for appointing heads of divisions and heads of services in public administrations, whose provisions continue to apply.

Applications are open to established civil servants (fonctionnaires titulaires) and contract staff working at the university. Under Article 6 of that decree, the right to apply extends to all established civil servants working in the various State administrations and territorial collectivities, as defined in Article 2 of Dahir No. 1.58.008 on the general civil-service statute. The duties attached to each post and the required competences are set out in the job sheets annexed to the decision.

The two posts and their reporting lines

The two posts belong to separate services within the faculty's administrative structure, each with its own hierarchical reporting line:

Eligibility conditions
