- 研究内容
- 本项目旨在通过分析来自Gaia、Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST)、eROSITA/SRG和VISTA/4MOST等世界级巡天设施的最先进数据，研究银河系中黑洞的空间密度、运动学和生长速率，以揭示银河系及更广泛宇宙中黑洞的特征。具体目标包括约束银河系黑洞人口统计学、探索机器学习方法以加速参数推断、识别并表征新的黑洞候选体（包括用于动力学质量和运动学测量的后续光谱观测），以及利用这些结果预测下一代引力波探测器的信号并指导其他星系超大质量黑洞生长模型。
- 申请条件
- 申请人必须持有英国2:1荣誉学士学位或其国际同等学历，并且应适应一定的科学计算工作。
- 待遇
- 学校提供多种面向英国及国际学生的资助机会，竞争性总统奖学金（Presidential Bursaries）可为顶尖申请者覆盖海外学费与英国本土学费之间的差额，院系提供的竞争性奖学金通常涵盖英国水平的学费以及生活费津贴。
- 申请方式
- 申请人需通过学校在线系统申请，选择研究型项目类型（2027/28学年，工程与物理科学学院），选择全职或兼职，搜索PhD Physics (7089)项目，并在申请表的第二部分添加导师姓名。截止日期为2027年1月6日。

About the project
How are black holes born in supernova explosions? In this project, you will take a leading role in analysing data from a world-leading study of the Milky Way's black hole population, investigating their space densities, kinematics and growth rates. By understanding these properties, you will help reveal the characteristics of black holes not only in our galaxy, but across the wider universe.
Black holes hold the key to understanding extreme physical processes which cannot be replicated in Earth laboratories, and are the gateway to the invisible universe of gravitational waves. But their birth, growth, evolution and deaths all remain hotly debated.
This project aims to substantially advance our understanding of the Milky Way population of black holes, and use this to infer the wider properties of black holes in other galaxies. The student will work at the interface of observational and theoretical astrophysics, analysing state-of-the-art data from survey facilities such as Gaia, the Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST), eROSITA/SRG, and VISTA/4MOST.
Key goals include:
• constraining the demography of black holes in the Milky Way, pushing sensitivity limits by orders-of-magnitude beyond previous studies
• exploring machine-learning methods to accelerate parameter inference
• identifying and characterising new black hole candidates, including follow-up spectroscopy for dynamical mass and kinematic measurements
• using these results to predict signals for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors and to inform models of supermassive black hole growth in other galaxies
The project offers fully-rounded astrophysics training and skill development in:
• data analysis and coding (including high-performance computing, if desired)
• observational techniques using world-class astronomical facilities
• critical evaluation of theoretical models
• scientific communication, presentation, and publication
Training will be provided in all aspects of observational astronomy and data science. You should be comfortable with some scientific computing.
The School of Physics and Astronomy is committed to promoting equality, diversity inclusivity as demonstrated by our Athena SWAN award. We welcome all applicants regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or age, and will give full consideration to applicants seeking flexible working patterns and those who have taken a career break. The University has a generous maternity policy, onsite childcare facilities, and offers a range of benefits to help ensure employees’ well-being and work-life balance. The University of Southampton is committed to sustainability and has been awarded the Platinum EcoAward.
