DESY, with more than 3000 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.
The Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) is designed to significantly advance science with next generation light sources. The CFEL Coherent Imaging Division using established techniques (conventional and serial crystallography) to determine the structure of biological molecules, and is also exploring several experimental strategies, such as convergent-beam diffraction and holography, to achieve atomic-resolution imaging without the need to crystallise materials. Within the division, the Scientific Computing team develops and maintains software hat ls used by researchers during experiments or for the subsequent data analysis. In this context, we are looking for a software developer to work on tools for real-time Image processing, which provide essential feedback to the researchers during experiments.
- Develop a new software for real-time image processing of experiments based on scanning techniques with focused X-ray beams (STXM)
- Maintain the existing software for real-time image processing and control of crystallographic experiments
- Collaborate with experts in diverse fields such as structural biology, X-ray imaging and crystallography, Instrumentation and controls and detectors to identify the software requirements and challenges
- Contribute occasionally to the other projects of the division (software for hardware control, database for serial crystallography)
- Provide advice to the members of the division about best practices in software development
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to 50%).
