Director of Statutes and Historical Studies at the High Commission

A senior post at the intersection of law and history

The High Commission for Former Resistance Fighters and Former Members of the Liberation Army has opened applications for the post of Director of Statutes and Historical Studies, a position of central administration director. The post falls under the senior appointments regime set out in Organic Law No. 02.12 on the procedure for appointment to senior posts, adopted in application of Articles 49 and 92 of the Constitution, and in Decree No. 2.12.412 of 11 October 2012 implementing Articles 4 and 5 of that Organic Law. It also relates to Decree No. 2.93.84 defining the remit and organisation of the High Commission, and to Decree No. 2.97.364 on the status of central administration directors.

The announcement carries the reference of Order No. 51/2026 of 11 November 2026 and the code S 2208/26. The number of posts is not specified in the available material, so candidates should not rely on an unconfirmed figure when assessing their chances.

Statutory eligibility conditions

Applications are open to staff who meet all of the following conditions, each verified against specific criteria:

• Moroccan nationality: the candidate must hold Moroccan nationality.
• Qualification: hold a higher diploma or certificate allowing classification at scale 11, or one of the recognised equivalent qualifications, in the historical, legal or managerial field; a State engineer diploma is also accepted.
• Professional experience: at least fifteen (15) years of professional experience in the public or private sector, enabling the candidate to carry out the duties of the post.
• Senior responsibility: have performed responsibilities at a level at least equivalent to head of division for four (4) years, or at least equivalent to head of service for eight (8) years.
• Programme of action: have carried out a programme of action or project related to the duties of the post.

In addition, the dossier must include a programme of action and a methodology proposed by the candidate to improve the performance of the post, which implies a clear forward-looking vision.

Points on qualifications and experience

The scale 11 qualification is accepted in three defined fields: history, law and management. This requirement reflects the nature of the post, which combines legal, documentary and historical research duties. The professional experience condition is not limited to the public sector: it extends to the private sector, which widens the pool of potential candidates.

The responsibility condition offers two clear alternatives: four years at head of division level or equivalent, or eight years at head of service level or equivalent. Candidates must establish precisely which of the two they satisfy.

Composition of the application dossier

The dossier comprises the following documents and must be submitted in five (5) copies to the secretariat of the High Commissioner for Former Resistance Fighters and Former Members of the Liberation Army, against a receipt:

• an application on the uniform model form annexed to Order No. 3448.12 of the Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of the civil service and administration modernisation, dated 25 Qi'da 1433 (12 October 2012);
• a curriculum vitae bearing a recent photograph, the candidate's telephone number and email address;
• all documents proving that the candidate meets the conditions required for the post;
• the programme of action and methodology proposed by the candidate to improve the performance of the post.

The Arabic application form collects civil status data (surname, first name, date and place of birth, family situation, national identity card number), decorations and distinctions, telephone and electronic contact details, academic and additional training, professional experience in the public and private sectors, and languages with reading, writing and speaking levels.

Supporting documents and declaration

The attached documents must establish each condition: nationality, diploma or equivalence, length of professional experience, length of responsibility experience, and completion of a relevant programme or project. The form also includes a declaration by which the candidate certifies the accuracy of the information provided, with signature and date of completion.
