The

Department of Creative IT Engineering (CiTE) at Pohang University of Science

and Technology (POSTECH, one of the best small and young universities in the

world, e.g., #1 in the Young University (less than 50 years old) rankings for

three consecutive years, 2012-2014) is currently soliciting applications for
