1- Design and applications of defect-engineered metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).
2- Development of automated and autonomous laboratories for reticular materials discovery.
3- Design and applications of MOF glasses and complex heterostructures.
4- New total scattering methods based on X-ray and electron crystallography.

The ad continues with some important details on the application requirements and process:

"REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS
We welcome applications from female candidates of any origin, having relevant academic education and genuine enthusiasm to join our research vision and lead future innovation in Chemistry and Materials Science.
A strong background in one or more of the following is highly desirable: coordination chemistry, solid-state chemistry, or crystallography.
Excellent English communication skills, both written and oral, are essential.
N.B. Joining the group as MSc intern and connecting MSc and PhD activities is possible.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
To apply, please send the documents listed below at s.canossa@ewha.ac.kr using as subject “OT_2026-01”. Please note that, for practical reasons, applications stating different subjects will not be considered. Application documents (in pdf format):
(1) One- or two-page CV covering academic education and areas of focus/expertise.
(2) One-page letter describing research interests and motivation for joining the group.
(3) Recommendation letter from the MSc thesis supervisor (not required for joint MSc-PhD applicants).

We look forward to hearing from you! "

Congratulations, Pepe and Dr. Li. It is also a special day for me to be an examiner for the first time. Looking back, 10 years ago I was defending my PhD thesis on the same stage. Now in the same room from a different angle is another unforgettable moment in my life! And it made a perfect loop! 💕
