Astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 45 Astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Revealing the Hidden Light: Understanding the cosmic dust and cold gas in nearby galaxies.
Over half the light ever emitted by stars in the Universe having been absorbed by cosmic dust, and the situation is worse (>90%) when looking at regions where star-formation is occurring. Read more
Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines
Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.

Observing the black hole mergers in the early universe with next-generation gravitational wave observatories.
The Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer are proposed next-generation gravitational-wave observatories which will be able to detect black hole mergers throughout the observable universe. Read more
Machine Learning for Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves (GWs) are produced by some of the most violent events in the Universe, such as the mergers of black holes and the explosive deaths of massive stars. Read more
Developing Large Arrays of Superconducting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Future Astronomy Instrumentation
The Cardiff Astronomy Instrumentation Group (AIG) is one of the world leaders in Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) development. Read more
Astrophysical interpretation of gravitational waves with space-based observatories.
Gravitational-wave astronomy was pioneered in September 2015 with the first direct observation of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). Read more
X-Shooter spectroscopy of Massive Young Stellar Objects
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The formation of massive stars, stars much more massive than the Sun and which explode as a Supernova at the end of their lives, is still shrouded in mystery. Read more
Bayesian Deep Learning for cosmology with Euclid
This project will focus on the combination of cutting-edge Deep Learning and statistical methods to enable cosmological inference from next-generation facilities such as the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission. Read more
Theoretical Astroparticle Physics
The Theoretical Particle Physics group at Royal Holloway University of London is offering a funded PhD studentship in the field of astroparticle theory with a focus on utilising Quantum Sensors in the search for dark matter. Read more
Machine learning for studying supernovae
Supernovae are the explosive deaths of certain types of star at the ends of their lives. They play an important role in the Universe, being the key distributors of heavy elements. Read more
Dark Matter Search with the LZ Experiment
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a high-sensitivity dark matter experiment based on dual-phase xenon technology currently operating in the deep underground laboratory at SURF (South Dakota, USA). Read more
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Aerosol Science
Fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships are available as part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral training in Aerosol Science. Read more
Fully-Funded Research Study @ The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) | Unified HKUST, Complementary Campuses
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), which was established in June 2022, is a cooperatively-run higher education institution between the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Read more
Finite temperature superfluid turbulence flow-structure interactions via immersed boundary methods
This is a multidisciplinary research project that combines the quantum physics of superfluid turbulence flows with advanced computational fluid dynamics for flow-structure interactions. Read more
PHD MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES
The PhD in Mathematical Sciences aims to provide high calibre education and advanced training in mathematics. It will take advantage of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University's international and vibrant research environment to prepare graduates for their research careers. Read more
