PhD in State-of-the-Art Constraints on the Most Powerful Accreting 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 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 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 ...

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 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....
