Who are we
Welcome to DESY! DESY is one of the world’s leading accelerator centres. Researchers use the large-scale facilities at DESY to explore the microcosm in all its variety – from the interactions of tiny elementary particles and the behaviour of new types of nanomaterials to biomolecular processes that are essential to life. The accelerators and detectors that DESY develops and builds are unique research tools. The facilities generate the world’s most intense X-ray light, accelerate particles to record energies and open completely new windows onto the universe.
You will find an international and interdisciplinary work environment with more than 2,400 DESYans working in many different professional fields – among others in natural sciences, IT, economic and engineering sciences, administration and technology. The research centre DESY offers a large number of sophisticated scientific and non-scientific occupations with diverse career opportunities as well as a wide range of training programmes. Become a part of our research world!!
DESY is not only an employer of over 2,000 people and a magnet for more than 3,000 guest researchers from over 40 nations every year, but also a sought-after partner in national and international cooperation. Committed young researchers find an exciting, interdisciplinary environment at DESY.
We are growing with each passing day and we have a lot in mind. Our long-term goal is clearly defined: The Decoding of Matter!
