21 Interdisciplinary PhD positions in Ultrafast Science and Quantum Materials - IMPRS UFAST - Hamburg Research The program offers exciting research opportunities at ultra-intense electron and X-ray sources to directly observe atomic motions during primary events. The use of ultrafast imaging over the relevant length and time scales generates new levels of understanding of the interplay between structure and dynamics. Specific areas include the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum materials and atomically resolved dynamics, fundamental light-matter interaction, accelerator-based light sources, coherent controlled molecular and solid state dynamics, molecular imaging, extreme timescale spectroscopy, ultrafast optics and X-ray science. We offer: A range of PhD positions in these areas: > open positions State-of-the-art research facilities on an extensive science campus Cross-disciplinary research in a vibrant, international scientific environment First class supervision and mentorship by a team of internationally renowned experts Outstanding training in your scientific subject and transferable skills (in English) A 3-year employment contract based on the German federal pay agreement Requirements We seek applicants with an excellent academic background.
