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.

DESY develops the PETRA IV facility, the ultimate X-ray microscope for nano research with outstanding potential for industrial users and societally relevant applications in energy research, information technology, mobility, environment and medicine. PETRA IV will provide the highest resolution for experiments on relevant length, time and energy scales with all possibilities for in-situ/operando analysis. At the same time, a new business model is being developed at the synchrotron radiation source PETRA Ill, which includes a new and innovative operation model for the user community, with a comprehensive service concept that involves laboratories and sample environments. The User Chemistry Laboratory Team operates the chemistry laboratories and clean room facility at PETRA Ill and with this, it is involved in the scientific work at beamlines. The team works with international user groups and enables preparation of their experimental setups and samples that are investigated at the PETRA Ill beamlines. The Chemistry Team is responsible for the development of the user laboratories at PETRA Ill and the planning of the laboratory environment at the future PETRA IV facility. The Chemistry Team will strongly contribute to the new business model with the extension of the sample preparation and investigation methods.
