PhD in Astronomy: The Making of Bulges and Giant Elliptical Galaxies University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Astrophysics at the University of Southampton focused on the brightest eruptions from supermassive black holes, including ambiguous nuclear transients (ANTs), tidal disruption events, black hole growth, extreme gravity, and the gas/dust environment in galactic centres. The project is based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Southampton, and is supervised by Dr Philip Wiseman. You will work with cutting-edge facilities and datasets such as the Le...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences on the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes in the dwarf regime . This project, supervised by Professor Manda Banerji , focuses on astronomy , astrophysics , black holes , galaxies , and active galactic nuclei . You will use new survey data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) together with data from VISTA , Euclid , Roman , and 4MOST to study how black ho...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in astronomy / astrophysics / physics focused on what regulates star formation in distant galaxies . The project investigates how galactic winds driven by stars and supermassive black holes affect the gas that fuels star formation around 10 billion years ago . You will work with KMOS spectroscopy from ESO’s Very Large Telescope and ALMA observations of cold molecular gas, combining existing datasets with archival data and new observations. The res...
