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.

Looking back on a long tradition in research with synchrotron radiation, DESY is one of the leading centres in the field of photon science worldwide. With the storage ring PETRA Ill and the Free-Electron-Laser FLASH, DESY offers a unique combination of photon sources to the scientific community. PETRA Ill, one of the most brilliant hard X-ray facilities worldwide, currently provides 20 undulator beamlines for experiments utilizing the extreme source brilliance. The High-throughput Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline P11 provides extremely high flux densities allowing for fast 3D structure determination of biological samples. We are seeking a highly motivated scientists to enhance our Macromolecular Crystallography research team at this state-of-the-art beamline.
