DESY, with more than 3000 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.

With the storage ring PETRA III and the Free-Electron-Laser FLASH, DESY offers a unique combination of photon sources to the scientific community. PETRA III, one of the most brilliant hard X-ray facilities worldwide, currently provides 23 undulator beamlines for experiments utilizing the extreme source brilliance. High-energy X-rays are used at beamline P22 in four specialized spectrometers to study the electronic and chemical structure of solids. We are seeking to hire a highly motivated scientist with a particular focus on solid state spectroscopy and instrument development. Among other things you will be working with the new time-of-flight momentum microscope (HarMoMic) and the workhorse HAXPES spectrometer.
