Mohammed V University maître de conférences competition: 2 posts

Maître de conférences recruitment competition at Mohammed V University in Rabat

Mohammed V University in Rabat has announced a recruitment competition for maîtres de conférences for the session of 7 December 2026, covering 2 posts. The recruitment is classified as regular recruitment and relates to the specialties indicated in the competition notice, identified by code C 44732/26 and published on 13 November 2026.

Candidates must complete an online registration before 28 November 2026. The competition date is set for 7 December 2026. The total number of advertised posts covers all the specialties concerned and must not be confused with the number of posts in a single specialty.

Position framework and announced distribution

Status of maître de conférences

The position offered is that of maître de conférences, a cadre within higher education. Access to this cadre requires a doctorate and involves presenting the candidate's scientific and teaching work before the competition panel. The recruitment is described as regular, distinguishing it from contractual or exceptional procedures.

Number of posts and specialties

The competition covers 2 posts in total. This figure is the reference for all advertised specialties and cannot be replaced by the count of a single specialty. The table annexed to the notice contains one clearly readable specialty, namely electrical engineering (written "inie Electrique" in the notice), with 1 post. Other cells in the table remain uncertain and cannot be treated as zero or inferred by subtracting from the total. The detailed distribution of the two posts is therefore not presented here as exhaustive.

Eligibility conditions

Required qualification and equivalence

• Hold a doctorate, a state doctorate or any other qualification recognised as equivalent to either of these.
• For doctorates awarded by foreign universities, a copy of the equivalence decision is required.

Nationality and age condition

• Hold Moroccan nationality.
• Meet the legal age requirement for sitting the competition.
• Be at least 18 years old and no more than 45 years old on 1 January of the current year.
• Civil servants who are not subject to the age condition are exempt from it.

A distinction must be drawn between the general age condition and specific situations. Civil servants not subject to that condition do not have to meet it; separately, candidates who have exceeded the recruitment age limit must, where applicable, produce authorisation from the Head of Government. The official and final authorisation to sit the competition is required only from candidates belonging to the civil service.

Application procedure and timetable

Online registration

Those wishing to sit the competition must register online through the dedicated link, before 28 November 2026. Meeting this deadline is a precondition for the application to be considered; no other channel replaces electronic registration.

Submission of documents

Candidates admitted to the oral examination must submit the required documents to the Human Resources Department of the Presidency of Mohammed V University in Rabat, located on Avenue des Nations Unies, Agdal, Rabat, before sitting the oral examination. The paper file is therefore submitted after publication of the list of candidates admitted to the oral examination, not at the time of initial registration.

Contents of the application file

Candidates admitted to the oral examination must provide the following documents:

• A handwritten application to take part in the competition, addressed to the university president, stating surname and first name, address, telephone number and email address.
• Official and final authorisation to sit the competition, required only from candidates belonging to the civil service.
• Authorisation from the Head of Government for candidates who have exceeded the recruitment age limit.
• A copy of the doctorate diploma, the state doctorate or any qualification recognised as equivalent.
• A copy of the equivalence decision for doctorates awarded by foreign universities.
• A copy of the electronic national identity card.
• A copy of the doctoral thesis (paper version).
• A paper version of all research work carried out individually or jointly (articles, books, monographic studies).
• A signed sworn statement by which the candidate certifies the accuracy of the information provided in the application file.

Conditional documents must be identified according to the candidate's situation: the official and final authorisation concerns civil servants, the Head of Government authorisation concerns candidates exceeding the age limit, and the equivalence decision concerns holders of foreign doctorates. The other documents apply to all admitted candidates.

Competition examinations and selection

The competition comprises two examinations:

• First examination: assessment of the candidate's diplomas and work.
• Second examination: an oral interview during which the candidate presents all of his or her scientific and teaching work to the panel.

Selection therefore does not rest on the diploma alone: it also covers the academic record, research output and the oral presentation before the panel. Passing the first examination is a condition for access to the oral interview and for submission of the paper file.

Publication of lists and results

The lists of candidates admitted to the oral examination will be published on the public employment portal and on the university's website. That publication serves as the summons to the oral examination, with no separate individual invitation. The final result will also be published on the portal and website mentioned above.

Candidates definitively admitted are invited to complete the administrative files required to finalise the recruitment procedure.

Practical points for preparing an application

The following are organisational tips drawn from the notice; they are not additional conditions:

• Timetable: online registration before 28 November 2026, competition on 7 December 2026. It is prudent to keep proof of electronic registration.
• Paper file: prepare paper copies of the thesis and research work in advance, since submission takes place immediately before the oral examination.
• Conditional documents: check in advance whether the official authorisation (civil servants), the Head of Government authorisation (candidates exceeding the age limit) or the equivalence decision (foreign diplomas) is required.
• Sworn statement: it must be signed and certify the accuracy of all information in the file.
• Monitoring publications: check the public employment portal and the university website regularly, since publication constitutes the official summons.

Candidates remain responsible for checking that their file complies with the announced conditions. The two posts constitute the advertised total, with the electrical engineering specialty accounting for one post, and unreadable cells must not be interpreted as additional posts.
