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.

As project manager of PUNCH4NFDI, you are a central point of coordination. You oversee the execution of the consortium 's work plan and build bridges to other consortia in the NFDI. You organise the internal procedures of the consortium, and you support the spokesperson of the consortium in technical and administrative matters, with the assistance of a project office at DESY.
