Astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 45 Astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere
The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.

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
Searching for Dark Matter with the Lux-Zeplin Detector
The Centre for Particle Physics at Royal Holloway is offering a PhD opportunity on the LZ experiment for direct detection of dark matter. Read more
Space/Astrophysical plasma and space weather
The Astronomy Unit at the Queen Mary University of London is offering a PhD scholarship (3 years) for a UK home student on the topic of Machine Learning for Space Plasma and Space Weather. Read more
Machine learning for extreme scale computational imaging in radio astronomy
The Biomedical and Astronomical Signal Processing (BASP) laboratory at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh (HWU), headed by Professor Yves Wiaux is recruiting a PhD student for research on deep learning for extreme-scale computational imaging in radio astronomy. Read more

Fully Funded PhD Program Opportunity
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), accredited in 2011 as a graduate university, is located in the beautiful subtropical island of Okinawa, Japan. Read more
The dynamic universe; extragalactic transients and stellar explosions
PhD position in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Warwick – the dynamic universe; extragalactic transients and stellar explosions. Read more
Why is the Universe getting cleaner by the day? Modelling dust, gas and metals in high redshift galaxies using BEDE
High redshift galaxies discovered using submillimetre surveys of the sky (so-called submillimetre galaxies) are likely ancestors of present-day massive early-type galaxies. Read more
The Sweet-Spot for Star Formation
CONTEXT. Star formation is one of the most fundamental processes regulating the evolution and appearance of the Universe, with implications for many diverse areas of astronomy. Read more
The Late Stages of Galaxy Evolution – a project with the Euclid Space Observatory
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) make it possible to obtain high-resolution images of tiny areas of sky. Read more
The formation and evolution of star-forming filaments
CONTEXT. Filaments play a critical role in star formation. Read more
Star Formation Triggered by Colliding Interstellar Clouds
CONTEXT. Much of the interstellar gas in a galaxy like the Milky Way is in dense molecular clouds. When these clouds enter a spiral arm, they merge to form larger clouds, and are compressed to higher densities. Read more
Simulation-based Inference of gravitational waves signals from black holes and neutron stars
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, well beyond what we can produce in a laboratory and at the very edge of our understanding of physics. Read more
