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. DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in science, technology, and administration, as well as for educating highly qualified young scientists.

We are looking for a highly motivated experienced scientist to plan and develop a fully automated instrument for high-throughput powder diffraction at P25, including commissioning and user support in collaboration with the powder diffraction team at beamline P02.1. The beamline specializes in high energy X-ray powder diffraction and PDF methods, working on in situ crystallization, variable temperature studies, operando studies of battery materials and catalysts, stress-strain measurements, and high-throughput data collections under ambient conditions. The candidate should also contribute to our in-house research program with their own projects.

• Development and commissioning of the new fully automated powder diffraction end station at P25 in collaboration with scientists and engineers.
• User support at P25 and P02.1.
• Work as part of a team to provide operational support for powder diffraction and PDF experiments, collaborating with the international user community and industry.
• Develop and pursue your own research projects in powder diffraction or total scattering.
• Completed higher education (master's or diploma) in physics, materials science, or a related field, or equivalent expertise.
• PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science, or equivalent.
• Profound knowledge in beamline instrumentation and data collection at 3rd generation synchrotron beamlines.
• Experience analyzing data from powder diffraction or total scattering experiments.
• Knowledge in pharmacy, in situ catalytic or gas sorption studies, battery materials.
• Experience in user operation and design & construction of automated experiments.
• Basic programming skills, preferably in Python.
• Excellent communication skills in English.

We offer a unique international research environment, flexible working hours, part-time options, mobile work, health management, occupational pension, and training opportunities. Remuneration follows the TV-AVH regulations, and employees receive a financial supplement for a German job ticket.
