The documents mention English language, but what level of German proficiency do you expect from candidates?

Keep in mind that this is scientific community, so most of the (official) communication is anyway in English, and from my personal experience people don't have a problem switching to English anyway.

There is also an International Office (https://guest-services.desy.de/international_office/index_en...) providing help when dealing with government and city administration.
