PhD in Astronomy/Astrophysics: Hunting for Black Holes in the Galaxy 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 in Astronomy / Astrophysics at the University of Southampton on obscured black hole growth , dust-obscured quasars, and the evolution of supermassive black holes across cosmic time. The project is based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton and is supervised by Professor Manda Banerji . It focuses on a rapidly emerging population of heavily reddened quasars discovered with SPHEREx and uses new imaging and spectroscopic survey data to...

Open call for a specially appointed researcher / postdoctoral-equivalent position at the University of Tokyo , Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, in the Affiliated Gravitational Wave Observatory . The project is centered on the KAGRA cryogenic gravitational wave telescope in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, with research activities spanning instrument performance improvement, stable observational operation, and analysis of gravitational wave data. This opportunity is well suited to candidates interes...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in astronomy, astrophysics, applied mathematics, and data science focused on how gas travels through galaxies to feed supermassive black holes. The project, supervised by Dr Sandra Raimundo , investigates the physical processes that move atomic, ionised, and molecular gas from galactic scales to the nucleus, and whether that inflow is sufficient to power active galactic nuclei (AGN). You will work with multi-wavelength observations and physical mo...

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...
