Offer Description

We are pleased to invite applications for a fully funded PhD position to join the ERC Starting Grant HyperFMOF project (ref. ) , 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 .

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.

- 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.
