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.
The Photon-Science Detector Group designs and builds innovative area detectors for the photon sources in Hamburg and world‑wide. The group works in close collaboration with world leading research groups in photon-science, as well as with other international detector groups. We are currently developing a new state-of-the-art photon counting and time‑stamping detector called TEMPUS based on the new Timepix4 readout ASIC. We are now looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to speed up the process and help us with the first-time user experiments using the current demonstrator.
