DESY is one of the world’s leading research centres for photon science, particle and astroparticle physics as well as accelerator physics. More than 2400 employees work at our two locations Hamburg and Zeuthen in science, technology and administration.
Accelerator Research and Development (ARD) is a core mission of the lab. By further developing and inventing technologies for improving existing accelerator facilities and for constructing new ones, the ARD group gathers indeed accelerator building expertise to stay at the leading edge of accelerator science.
The position
Fellows are invited to take an active role in one of the following research topics at DESYs Accelerator R&D:
- Improvements of existing accelerator flagship facilities, e.g. upgrades to DESYs synchrotron radiation facilities, seeding of free-electron lasers, atto- and femto-second electron and photon beams
- Super-conducting RF technology for future accelerators and its implementation in FLASH, the European XFEL and other modern high power accelerators
- Compact accelerator technology with high accelerating fields, e.g. plasma accelerators, dielectric structures, beam or laser drivers for accelerators, cost-efficient technologies
- New accelerator facilities for R&D, photon science and particle physics, e.g. future free-electron lasers (XFEL upgrades, PETRA IV), the SINBAD facility at DESY, future colliders (e.g. FCC at CERN)
Requirements
- Ph.D. in physics or engineering completed within the last 4 years
DESY-Fellowships are awarded for a duration of at least 2 years with the prolongation by one additional year.
