• Collaborate with a team of astrophysicists and data scientists to meet project goals
• Disseminate findings through publications, reports, and presentations

About you:

• Ph.D. in physics or astronomy
• Experience in Monte Carlo simulations or reconstruction methods for astroparticle or particle physics experiments
• Experience or proven interest in data management
• Knowledge of programming (python) and scientific computing methods
• Good knowledge of English

Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us.
