Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The University of Bath invites applications from outstanding candidates for a 3.5-year funded studentship to be held in the Bath Astrophysics Group to study the distribution and kinematics of ionised, neutral and molecular gas in galaxies through cosmic epoch with the goal of determining (a) the physics of star formation, (b) the fuelling of supermassive black holes, and (c) the role of environment.
The successful applicant will work with Professor Carole Mundell and Dr Stijn Wuyts and will be embedded in the Bath Astrophysics Group (http://www.bath.ac.uk/physics/research/astrophysics/) whose research interests include galaxy structure and kinematics, stellar populations, star formation and ISM conditions, and galaxy-black hole co-evolution.
The project will involve the analysis and interpretation of 3-D imaging spectroscopic datasets at optical, radio and millimetre wavelengths obtained on world-leading facilities including the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA), the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA); the successful applicant will integrate and compare the results from analysis of these datasets for statistically significant samples of local and higher redshift galaxies. The project will also involve preparation of new observing proposals for major telescope facilities with international collaborators.
Through its Doctoral College (http://www.bath.ac.uk/departments/doctoral-college/), the University of Bath offers a comprehensive programme of postgraduate skills training, strong support for networking with students across disciplines beyond physics, and advice on careers in academia or industry. Regular student-led astrophysics symposia are held with partner Universities through the ’Bristol-Bath-Exeter-Cardiff astrophysics student symposia’ (BBECss) initiative.
Applicants should have a background in the physical sciences and have or expect to gain a First or Upper Second Class UK Honours degree, or the equivalent from an overseas University.
