DESY
Welcome to DESY! Here you will find an international and interdisciplinary working environment with more than 3000 DESYans working in a variety of occupational fields - including science, IT, economics and engineering, administration and technology. The research center DESY offers a variety of demanding scientific and non-scientific jobs with diverse career opportunities as well as a broad training program. Become part of our research world! We are growing with each passing day and we have a lot in mind. Our long-term goal is clearly defined: the decoding of matter! #KeyEnablers We are one of the world's leading accelerator centers. Researchers use the large-scale facilities at DESY to explore the microcosm in all its variety – from the interactions of tiny elementary particles and the behaviour of new types of nanomaterials to biomolecular processes that are essential to life. The accelerators and detectors that DESY develops and builds are unique research tools. The facilities generate the world’s most intense X-ray light, accelerate particles to record energies and open completely new windows onto the universe. DESY is not only an employer for more than 2,500 people, but also a magnet for more than 3,000 guest researchers from more than 40 nations every year as well as a sought-after partner in national and international cooperation. Dedicated junior researchers find an exciting, interdisciplinary environment at DESY.
