Location of University of Hamburg
IMPRS-UFAST is an international PhD programme which offers exciting training opportunities in the field of ultrafast imaging with a view to exploring structural changes of atoms, molecules, condensed, biological, or warm dense matter on femtosecond time scales.
The School is interdisciplinary in scope and encourages cross-disciplinary thesis research. Supervision and teaching within the School are a synergistic effort of experts from relevant fields within Physics, Chemistry and touching on Biology.
PhD thesis research is complemented by a flexible curriculum of workshops, advanced courses, and general academic/ soft skills courses.
Specific research areas include
- theoretical and practical 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
- relevance and application in Chemistry, Biology and Medicine
The duration of the programme is 3 years. All doctoral positions within the IMPRS are fully funded. The language of the programme is English. The location of the School is on the DESY premises in Hamburg.
The International Max Planck Research School for Ultrafast Imaging and Structural Dynamics (IMPRS-UFAST) is a joint enterprise of Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), the Max Planck Research Department for Structural Dynamics at the University of Hamburg (MPSD), the Max Planck Advanced Study Group (MP-ASG), the University of Hamburg, and European XFEL GmbH.
