Astronomy University of Southampton in United Kingdom

Astrophysics PhD at the University of Edinburgh (School of Physics and Astronomy, Institute for Astronomy) is a postgraduate research opportunity in physics and astronomy with a September 2027 start. The programme is based at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and the King’s Buildings campus, with research strengths spanning cosmology , active galactic nuclei , nearby galaxies , exoplanets , star formation , planet formation , computational astrophysics , and wide-field survey astronomy . Students ...

PhD opportunity in Astronomy / Astrophysics at the University of Southampton This funded PhD project, The Making of Bulges and Giant Elliptical Galaxies , is based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. The project focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, especially how massive galaxies built their bulges and spheroids in the early Universe. You will use observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large ...

PhD project at the University of Southampton: Testing the foundations of cosmology with quasars. This postgraduate research project in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences explores whether the Universe is statistically isotropic on the largest scales. Using public WISE and Gaia quasar catalogues, plus public spectroscopy and complementary SPHEREx and Euclid releases where available, the project investigates a possible dipole signal in the sky distribution of distant quasars. The rese...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in The Dynamic Lives of Galaxies and Their Black Holes , supervised by Dr Sandra Raimundo in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences / School of Physics & Astronomy. This project sits at the intersection of astronomy , astrophysics , applied mathematics , data science , and space science . It focuses on how galaxies evolve through mergers and gas accretion, and how these processes shape star formation, unusual kinematic structures, and th...

Queen’s University Belfast is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position within the Astrophysics Research Centre as part of the five-year STFC Large Award TRANSCEND . The project uses Vera Rubin/LSST transient data and the 4MOST Time-Domain Extragalactic Survey (TiDES) to study major questions in modern astrophysics , including how stars explode, how supermassive black holes grow, and the nature of dark energy. The QUB post focuses on transient physical properties and the black hole ...
