Research Fellowship for a PhD Student in Astronomy/Astrophysics Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto in Portugal

Astrophysics PhD at the University of Edinburgh (School of Physics and Astronomy, Institute for Astronomy) is a postgraduate research opportunity in physics and astronomy with a September 2027 start. The programme is based at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and the King’s Buildings campus, with research strengths spanning cosmology , active galactic nuclei , nearby galaxies , exoplanets , star formation , planet formation , computational astrophysics , and wide-field survey astronomy . Students ...

PhD project: Placing the Local Group in a cosmological context This doctoral project examines how the Milky Way, Andromeda (M31), and their satellite galaxies formed and evolved. The research is situated at the intersection of Galactic Archaeology, galaxy formation, and cosmology, using the fossil record preserved in stars to reconstruct the assembly history of the Local Group. The PhD researcher will co-develop a sophisticated suite of cosmological models of Local Group galaxies. Using newly ge...

PhD opportunity in Astronomy and Astrophysics at Lund University, Sweden. The Planet Formation Group in the Department of Physics (Division of Astrophysics) is recruiting a doctoral student to work on theoretical astrophysics with a focus on planet formation , galaxy formation , and the origin of interstellar planetesimals / interstellar comets . The project studies how planets form at different times and in different regions of the Milky Way, and how planetesimals can be ejected from planetary ...

Planet Formation Group, Department of Physics, Division of Astrophysics, Lund University is seeking a doctoral student to join a project in theoretical astrophysics focused on planet formation on a galactic scale . The project investigates how planets form at different times and in different regions of the Milky Way, and how some planetesimals are ejected from planetary systems to become free-floating interstellar objects. The research aims to provide new insight into the origins of interstellar...

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 ...
