Study of ionospheric propagation disturbances
The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project. 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
"ChatGPT" for astronomical light curves
The Japan/New Zealand/US Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration has been engaged with the detection of exoplanets via gravitational microlensing of over 25 years. Read more
Infra-red Observation Programme -- Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics
This project is part of the New Zealand/Japan/US collaboration Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) and the PRIME collaboration. Read more
Joining up Solar and Stellar Flare Energy Estimates
The traditional approach to approximating stellar flare energies by fitting a blackbody curve to continuum emission enhancements faces many challenges. Read more
Machine Learning for radiative transfer applications in multidimensional flare simulations
Radiative energy transport has been demonstrated to be critical to the flow of energy in the lower atmospheres of solar flares via radiative transport hydrodynamic modelling (Allred et al. Read more
Astrophysical Sciences and Technology Ph.D.
This multidisciplinary program is administered by the School of Physics and Astronomy, in collaboration with the School of Mathematical Sciences and the Chester F. Read more
Color Science Ph.D.
Color has been an intense topic of interest for thousands of years. Mathematicians, philosophers, physicists, physiologists, poets, and other disciplines have all contributed to our understanding of color. Read more
Imaging Science PhD
The Ph.D. in imaging science signifies high achievement in scholarship and independent investigation in the diverse aspects of imaging science. Read more
The University of Manchester - Department of Physics and Astronomy
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Manchester is home to outstanding research, leading facilities such as the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, and internationally renowned physicists and astronomers including the discoverers of graphene Professor Sir Andre Geim and Professor Sir Konstantin Novoselov, and Professor Brian Cox. Read more
Hydrogen for future space transportation PhD
Hydrogen for future space transportation is a fully funded, 4-year, PhD position part of the Rocketry Research, Teaching, and Training (R2T2). Read more
Exploring close binary stars: Using nonlinear time series analysis and machine learning for analysing stellar light curves.
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Asteroseismology from Surface to Core: Unveiling the inner workings of pulsating stars from diverse observations.
Asteroseismology is the study of pulsational and vibrational physics in stars. The recent explosion of data from ground- and space- based facilities has driven new techniques and understanding of the otherwise impenetrable interiors of stars. Read more
A long-term variability study of young stars: Periodicity, hot spots, accretion and early evolution at the time of planet formation
Young stars are variable due to the processes happening on the star and its protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. The star-disk connection holds the clues to several open questions including rotational evolution, the origin of our Solar System and the feasibility of habitable planets. Read more
Untangling Minor Planet Families
The Japan/New Zealand/US Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration has been engaged with the detection of exoplanets via gravitational microlensing of over 25 years. Read more
