StandortHamburg, Hamburg

DESY, with more than 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists. The synchrotron light source PETRA Ill is one of the core facilities at DESY and offers scientists outstanding opportunities for experiments with hard X-rays of very high brilliance since 2009. To ensure the high availability of the facility and a low fault rate the operation of the accelerator must be continuously improved and the high beam quality has to be continuously monitored. We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our PETRA Ill operation and accelerator physics team.
