Doctoral student in Galactic archaeology with 4MOST Lund University in Sweden

Lund University is recruiting a doctoral student in observational astronomy to investigate the origins and evolution of the Milky Way through Galactic archaeology . The project will use spectroscopic observations from 4MOST , a major survey in which Lund researchers have held leading roles in survey direction and data-analysis working groups. The PhD student will analyse 4MOST data released continuously over the next five years to study how stellar populations in the Milky Way formed and evolved...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher opening in Astronomy & Astrophysics , focused on astrometry , stellar remnants , and microlensing related research using NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope . The role sits in the Astronomy Astrophysics & Analytics Group within the Physics Division and involves building an astrometric detection and characterization pipeline. The successful candidate will develop algorithms to find accelerating stars in Ro...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in astrophysics and observational astronomy, focused on changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the evolution of supermassive black holes . The project asks why some black holes appear to change dramatically over just months, challenging current ideas about accretion and black-hole growth. The successful candidate will collate a uniform sample of changing-look AGN using major surveys such as SPHEREx, WISE, Euclid, and eROSITA , then measure...

PhD opportunity in Astronomy and Astrophysics at Lund University, Sweden. The Planet Formation Group in the Department of Physics (Division of Astrophysics) is recruiting a doctoral student to work on theoretical astrophysics with a focus on planet formation , galaxy formation , and the origin of interstellar planetesimals / interstellar comets . The project studies how planets form at different times and in different regions of the Milky Way, and how planetesimals can be ejected from planetary ...

Postdoctoral research at the Department of Astronomy, Stockholm University This postdoctoral project focuses on the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary and cometary systems around single and binary stars. The successful candidate will work on developing and applying advanced numerical simulation techniques to study how gravitational interactions, close stellar encounters in clusters, stellar evolution, and binary evolution shape the stability and architecture of planets and minor-body pop...
