DESY-Fellowships in Experimental Particle Physics
Remuneration Group 13 | Limited: 2 years | Starting date: after agreement | ID: FHFE004/2024 | Deadline: 30.09.2024 | Full-time/Part-time
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.
We participate in leading roles in particle physics projects on our campus and in international laboratories such as CERN or KEK. We develop technologies for detectors and accelerators, and work on scientific computing. We operate important infrastructures such as the Tier2 centre or the test beam facility at DESY.
DESY Fellowships in Experimental Particle Physics are selected twice a year. Interested applicants who have recently completed their PhD are requested to submit their application including the scientific background and the usual documents (letter of motivation, research interest, CV, list of publications, copies of university degrees, three letters of reference) for the respective selection round via our application portal. The statement of future research should include both, physics analysis as well as detector or performance related interests.
Selection Round II/2024. Deadline for Applications: September 30th. A decision on the award of a fellowship will be made by end of November at the latest. Begin of the fellowship between January and June 2025.

- The ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN or the Belle II experiment at KEK
- Experimental activities on‑site (ALPS II and preparation of future on‑site experiments at DESY)
- Preparations for future particle physics experiments, in particular detector and technology development
- Scientific computing
- Accelerator development (plasma wakefield)
About you:
- Ph.D. in physics (to be eligible, you have to take up the position at the latest 5 years after your doctorate)
- Interest in particle physics, accelerator/detector development or scientific computing
- Expertise relevant in at least one of the areas listed
Good reasons to join:
