DESY, with its more than 2700 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.

DESY Zeuthen is among the leading institutions in astroparticle physics with a focus on gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy, as well as astroparticle theory. The astroparticle theory group currently has interests in multi-messenger astrophysics, including astrophysical accelerators, the transport of cosmic messengers, plasma physics and gravitational waves. DESY offers excellent research opportunities in astroparticle physics through close cooperation with many research groups and major institutions in this field in Germany and abroad.
