DESY-Fellowships in Experimental Particle Physics

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.

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.

The decision on the awarding of a fellowship for the 2/2025 selection round is presumably made on November 30.
