Hidden black holes and the search for self-lensing binaries
Supervisory Team. Prof Middleton, Prof Gandhi. Project description. Read more
Exploring the impact of misalignment on the appearance of black holes
Supervisory Team. Prof Middleton, Prof Altamirano. Project description. Black holes grow by accreting material through a disc which is bright across the EM spectrum. Read more
Finding the Unexpected in Vast Pulsar Data Sets
Supervisory Team: Lucy Oswald. Project description. A PhD position is an opportunity to direct your enthusiasm and creativity into ground-breaking research, with support to develop the skills you need to become a leader in your field. Read more
Investigating the fuelling of supermassive black holes using multi-phase gas
Supervisory Team: Sandra Raimundo. Project description. Supermassive black holes live in the centre of galaxies and grow by the accretion of gas from their surroundings. Read more
sing machine learning to classify microglia. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2025/26
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Uncovering 12 billion years of supermassive black hole growth
Supervisory Team: Sebastian Hoenig. Project description. One of the most consequential discoveries in galaxy evolution was the discovery that the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centres of galaxies are correlated with properties of the host galaxy. Read more
Revealing Quasar Host Galaxies with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
PhD Supervisor: Manda Banerji. Project description. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a ground-breaking astronomical facility due to start survey operations in 2025. Read more

PhD Supervisor: Manda Banerji. Project description. Read more
Hunting for Hidden Black Holes and Extreme Transients Using Large Surveys
Supervisory Team: P. Gandhi. Project description. This is pure blue-skies astronomy research project. The research will be computer-based using publicly available software and well-known mathematical techniques. Read more
Uncovering Extremely Luminous Flares from Supermassive Black Holes with Next-generation Survey Telescopes
Supervisory Team: Dr Phil Wiseman. Project description. Modern all-sky astronomical surveys have started picking up unusual, extremely luminous, and long-lived flares in the centres of distant galaxies. Read more
Design and Optimization of Spacecraft Trajectories for Cislunar Transportation and Beyond
The establishment of space stations and logistics hubs in cislunar space could serve as waypoints for spacecraft, reducing the cost and complexity of missions to the Moon, asteroids, Mars, and beyond. Read more
Exoplanet Characterisation Predictions via Gravitational Microlensing
This project will involve research into predicting the number and character of exoplanets using the GULLS microlensing simulation package for predicting exoplanet returns from the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, and other current or proposed space and ground telescopes. Read more
