We are always pleased to assist candidates in applying for PhD and postdoctoral fellowships to join our research group.

PhD Position 1

Project Association: ERC StG HyperFMOF (ref. 101163095)
Start Date (Duration): To determine (4 years) 

We are pleased to invite applications for a fully funded PhD position to join the ERC Starting Grant HyperFMOF project (ref. 101163095), hosted at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), Toledo, Spain.

The HyperFMOF project focuses on the development and comprehensive characterization of novel hyperfluorescent materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), aiming to integrate them into MOF-based light-emitting diodes (MOF-LEDs).

Candidate Profile:

  • Applicants must hold (or be close to completing) a Master’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related field.
  • Strong interest in organic synthesis and material science is required.
  • Previous experience in organic and MOF synthesis or coordination chemistry is a strong plus.
  • Good level of English (written and spoken) is essential.
  • Motivation to pursue a doctoral thesis, strong teamwork skills, and scientific curiosity are expected.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Participate in the synthesis and characterization of organic ligands and MOFs.
  • Collaborate with senior researchers on the design and optimization of materials for optoelectronic applications.
  • Contribute to the analysis and interpretation of experimental data.
  • Present results in group meetings and scientific events.
  • Write reports and assist in the preparation of scientific publications.

This is a unique opportunity to join a highly interdisciplinary research environment, working at the forefront of materials science and photophysics.

This is an expression of interest. Any interested candidate may send their CV and academic transcript, compiled into a single PDF, to: mario.gutierrez@uclm.es. The selection process will be carried out through UCLM’s official channels in the near future.

 

PhD Position 2

Project Association: ERC StG HyperFMOF (ref. 101163095)
Start Date (Duration): January 2026 (4 years) 

We are pleased to invite applications for a fully funded PhD position to join the ERC Starting Grant HyperFMOF project (ref. 101163095), hosted at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), Toledo, Spain.

The HyperFMOF project focuses on the development and comprehensive characterization of novel hyperfluorescent materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), aiming to integrate them into MOF-based light-emitting diodes (MOF-LEDs). This PhD position will specifically address advanced spectroscopic characterization of photophysical processes and the fabrication and performance testing of LED devices.

Candidate Profile:

  • Applicants must hold (or be near completion of) a Master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Nanoscience, or a closely related field.
  • Strong interest in spectroscopy, optoelectronics, and device fabrication is essential.
  • Prior experience with photoluminescence spectroscopy, time-resolved techniques, or electroluminescent device assembly will be highly valued.
  • Good level of English (both written and spoken).
  • Strong motivation to pursue a PhD, teamwork skills, and scientific curiosity are expected.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Conduct steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic measurements to characterize MOFs and related hybrid materials.
  • Participate in the fabrication and testing of MOF-LED prototypes.
  • Collaborate with synthetic chemists and computational scientists to correlate structure–property–performance relationships.
  • Analyze and interpret spectroscopic and device performance data.
  • Present results at internal meetings, international conferences, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications.

This is a unique opportunity to join a highly interdisciplinary research environment, working at the forefront of materials science and photophysics.
