Remuneration Group 15 | Unlimited | Starting date: 01.01.2025 | ID: MMA053/2024 | Deadline: 18.09.2024 | Full-time/Part-time | Remote work possible

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.

The Machine, Diagnostics and Instrumentation (MDI) group consists of an international team of ca. 40 technicians, engineers and scientists. The group develops, designs and operates state-of-the-art electronic, mechanical and (electro)optical measuring instruments for observing, measuring and diagnosing the different particle beams in all of our accelerator facilities, including PETRA III, FLASH, the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (X-FEL) facility and plasma accelerators. The group MDI has the mission to provide world leading instruments for particle beam diagnostics for circular and linear accelerators. The whole lifcycle of the instruments (R&D, commissioning, maintenance and removal/renovation) is supported. New techniques have to be developed to fulfill the enhanced specifications of future accelerator projects, including the proposed PETRA IV project.
