Scientist for Beamline P21.2 – Diffraction & Imaging
For our location in Hamburg we are seeking: Scientist for Beamline P21.2 – Diffraction & Imaging Limited: 3 years | Starting date: 04.01.2027 | ID: FSMA032/2026 | Deadline: open until the position is filled | Full-time/Part-time | Remote work possible 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. 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, provides 25 andulator beamlines for experiments utilizing the extreme source brilliance. Due to the high energy of the electron beam, PETRA III is an outstanding source of high-energy X-rays which are a powerful tool for the characterization of polycrystalline materials. The P21.2 beamline is dedicated to the characterization of materials in particular with a combination of wide- and small-angle scattering and imaging. .
