Job description:

DESY

In the framework of the HIBEF consortium, our team develops and operates a platform for the study of matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and strain rates at the HED instrument at European XFEL enabling unprecedented experiments. We are employing diamond anvil cells to generate pressures ranging from atmospheric conditions to multiple megabars. In combination with pulsed IR-laser and X-ray heating we can cover temperatures from ambient to several electron volts. Our approach spans various compression rates, bridging static experiments with dynamic pressure cells driven by piezoelectric actuators extending to laser shock experiments.

About your role:

  • Develop script based code for detector calibration and data analysis
  • Sample/target design and preparation for extreme conditions experiments
  • Perform and participate in experimental campaigns at European XFEL and other facilities

About you:

  • Master or equivalent degree in Physics, Earth Sciences, Mineralogy, Chemistry, Material Sciences, or a related field
  • Strong motivation to perform in experimental work
  • Previous experience in high pressure techniques and X-ray methods is an advantage
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Matlab is highly desirable
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Willingness and availability to travel

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%). You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision. As a public funded employer, we offer you a secure workplace and facilitate your individual career with our comprehensive training and development opportunities. Remuneration is according to the regulations of the TV-AVH. DESY offers its employees a financial supplement for a German job ticket at both locations.

We look forward to receiving your application via our application portal:
