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.

For that, our international team of technicians, engineers and scientists develops state-of-the-art high-speed data acquisition and fast feedbacks for DESY's accelerators. For this position we are focusing on data acquisition and analysis for the RF system at the European XFEL and FLASH to better analyse disturbances that reduce the availability of the European XFEL, the worlds largest free electron laser.
