International Max Planck Research School for Ultrafast Imaging and Structural Dynamics

IMPRS-UFAST is a structured PhD Programme which offers students exciting opportunities in the areas of 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.

Our students work and research alongside an international and interdisciplinary team of experts with access to first-class research facilities and whilst obtaining a PhD degree. Our mission is to enable young scientists to achieve their full potential through supervised thesis research complemented by a multifaceted programme of lectures, advanced courses, and skills training.
