PhD in Astrophysics: Changing-Look Supermassive Black Holes University of Southampton in United Kingdom

Finnish Centre for Astronomy with ESO (FINCA) at the University of Turku is inviting applications for a three-year postdoctoral researcher / senior researcher fixed-term position in astronomy, astrophysics, physics , and multi-messenger astronomy . The project is part of the ERC-funded BlackHolistic initiative, which aims to create colour movies of black holes and study their astrophysics across scales. The work focuses on the physics of relativistic jets launched from accreting supermassive bla...

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 in Astronomy/Astrophysics at the University of Southampton on Hunting for black holes in the galaxy . This project, supervised by Professor Poshak Gandhi , focuses on the birth, growth, evolution, and demographics of black holes in the Milky Way and beyond. You will analyse data from major survey facilities including Gaia , the Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST) , eROSITA/SRG , and VISTA/4MOST , with opportunities to work at the interface of observational and theoretical astrophysics....

Postgraduate research project at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences . Project title: More data, more and better distances: Improving on Gaia parallaxes with multi-modal machine learning. This PhD project sits at the intersection of astronomy , physics , machine learning , neural networks , and statistics . The research aims to improve stellar distance estimates by combining diverse astronomical observations, especially when Gaia parallaxes are uncer...
