Five PhD fellowships at IAC Astronomical Research
The IAC (Tenerife, Spain) invites applications for FIVE PhD fellowships in Astrophysics. The research topics pursued at the IAC include most areas of Astrophysics. Read more
PhD studentship in Astrophysics - X-ray polarization: a new window to understand black holes
Overview. We invite applications for a PhD studentship supervised by Dr Adam Ingram within the . Astronomy and Cosmology group. Read more
PhD study in Astronomical observatory
PhD study in Astronomy covers a theoretical and observational research, analysing the optically variable objects like accreting binary stars, extreme horizontal branch star and active galactic nuclei, as well as the high energy astrophysics, multiwavelength astronomy, radio astronomy, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology.

What triggers the growth of Black Holes?
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
It seems that all massive galaxies host, at their centres, supermassive black holes with masses of between a million to a billion times the mass of our Sun. Read more
The dynamics of small-N systems
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Most stars form in groups of dozens to a few hundred, but our understanding of the dynamics of such systems is surprisingly very lacking. In particular… Read more
Surveying the sky for hungry black holes
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Over the next few years, a new dimension in astronomy will reach maturity. the temporal dimension. Rather relying on static "photos" of the sky, astronomers will transition to "filming" sky night after night. Read more
Exploring the environments of exploding stars
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Supernovae are the explosive deaths of certain types of stars; in particular, stars a lot more massive than our Sun. The route from massive star formation… Read more
Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more
Quantifying space weather turbulence and extremes and risk at earth
Supervisor S. C. Chapman S.C.Chapman@warwick.ac.uk. www.warwick.ac.uk/go/cfsa/people/sandrac. Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics. Read more
Network science quantification of space weather at earth
Research at the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) focuses on plasma physics applied to the grand challenges of fusion power, space physics, solar physics, and astrophysics. Read more
Neutrino Oscillation Study and Nucleon Decay Search with DUNE
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
DUNE is a large international project to design, construct and operate a multi-kiloton scale liquid argon detector for neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and a search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Read more
Dark Matter Search with the LZ Experiment
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a project to build and operate a high-sensitivity dark matter experiment in the deep mine at SURF in South Dakota, USA. Read more
What time can tell us about space: Using time-resolved observations of young stars to explore the circumstellar environment beyond what direct resolution can achieve
What happens in the planet-forming region when planets form? How are stars like our Sun formed? Observational answers have to deal with one fact. Read more
Spacecraft Trajectory Optimisation
The University of Auckland is developing a research programme in low delta-v spacecraft trajectory optimisation. We are looking for a PhD candidate to continue work in this area and develop our existing algorithms. Read more
