Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Keele University operates the WASP-South observatory in South Africa, as part of the award-winning Wide-Angle Search for Planets (WASP) consortium. The WASP-South instrument is the leading transit-survey in the Southern hemisphere, and has found the brightest transiting exoplanets in the Southern skies. Such systems are the best probes we have of the nature and evolution of planets.
There is an opportunity to join in the discovery of transiting exoplanets, to lead follow-up studies of exoplanets using leading facilities such as ESO's Very Large Telescope and the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, and to contribute to the improvement and development of the WASP-South observatory, as we push WASP-South towards the discovery of smaller planets.
