PhD in Galactic Archaeology and Observational Astronomy with 4MOST at Lund University Lund University in Sweden

This PhD project sits within Lund University’s long-standing involvement in the 4MOST spectroscopic survey and focuses on Galactic archaeology . The doctoral student will work with spectroscopic observations of stars in the Milky Way to investigate the origins of the Galaxy and how its stellar populations formed and evolved. The position is based in the research environment at Lund University, where several researchers play leading roles in 4MOST surveys and in the working groups that analyse th...

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 project: What causes the brightest eruptions from supermassive black holes? The University of Southampton is offering a competition-funded Doctor of Philosophy project investigating ambiguous nuclear transients (ANTs), among the most energetic and luminous events in the Universe. The research will explore why these flares become so bright, how massive stars may be disrupted by supermassive black holes, how extreme gravity operates, and how black holes grow. The project will use data from maj...

PhD opportunity in Astronomy / Astrophysics at the University of Southampton This funded PhD project, The Making of Bulges and Giant Elliptical Galaxies , is based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. The project focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, especially how massive galaxies built their bulges and spheroids in the early Universe. You will use observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large ...
