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 high-end synchrotron radiation applications, the 3rd generation storage ring PETRA III is one of the most brilliant X-ray sources. The "Coherence Applications" beamline P10 is specialized in the development and application of coherent X-ray scattering techniques in the medium hard X-ray regime. Scientifically, the experiments aim to gain a deeper understanding of structural and dynamical properties of matter at nanometer length scales. The candidate should pursue his own research portfolio applying coherent X-ray scattering methods and enable the P10 beamline user community to continue to perform successfully state-of-the-art experiments.
