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 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...
