Accelerator & Particle Physics Research

DESY, Hamburg location, is seeking to fill several positions: Postdocs and Postgraduate Students (m/f)

DESY is one of the world’s leading accelerator centres for the investigation of matter. Within its mission DESY develops, runs and scientifically exploits ac­celerators and detectors for the research with photons and for particle physics.

The award of an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship to Professor Brian Foster will result in a number of vacancies in the fields of accelerator research aimed at reaching the highest possible energies, in particular in fields relating to superconducting radio-frequency acceleration techniques, plasma wake-field acceleration and in particle physics research.

DESY is seeking two postdocs in the following areas:

• Analysis of ZEUS data and combination with H1 data to form final HERA physics results, to be combined with work in another area of the DESY particle physics research programme

• Accelerator physics related to the areas referred to above, including knowledge of beam optics and the design and operation of accelerators; the successful candidate will be expected to work closely with the accelerator department at DESY in the conception and operation of facilities at for example FLASH to carry out the research programme described above

Requirements

• PhD in physics or engineering

• experience in at least one of the above mentioned research topics

• good communication and leadership skills

In addition DESY is seeking two students in each of the above areas, with the possibility of working in both areas if desired:

Requirements

• Masters degree or equivalent in physics or engineering

• enthusiasm for at least one of the above mentioned research topics

• good communication skills

For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. Brian Foster (email brian.foster@desy.de, Phone +49 40 8998 3201).

The postdoc positions are limited initially to a period of 3 years. Salary and benefits are commensurate with those of public service organisations in Germany and will be at the E13 or E14 levels, depending on experience and qualification.

DESY operates flexible work schemes. Handicapped persons will be given preference to other equally qualified applicants. DESY is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women. There is a bilingual German-English Kindergarten on the DESY site.
