The International Max Planck Research School for Ultrafast Imaging & Structural Dynamics (IMPRS-UFAST) is a structured postgraduate programme offering 15 fully-funded Ph.D. positions for admission in 2015.

We are looking for new fellows to start in 2015. Have you graduated or are you about to graduate with a Master degree or equivalent? If you are a physicist, chemist, molecular biologist or nanoscientist with excellent grades, we would very much like to hear from you.

Research
Our research focuses on ultra-intense electron and x-ray sources for directly observing atomic motions during primary events, and ultrafast imaging over the relevant length and time scales to come to new levels of understanding of the interplay between structure and dynamics.

Specific areas include theoretical and experimental aspects of condensed matter and atomically resolved dynamics, fundamental light-matter interaction, accelerator-based light sources, coherent imaging, coherent controlled molecular and solid state dynamics, molecule imaging, extreme timescale spectroscopy, ultrafast optics and x-ray science, relevance and applications in chemistry, biology and medicine.
