A Day in the Life of a PhD Astrophysics Student
COMMENTS
PhD in Astronomy
The Institute of Astronomy offers the opportunity to study for the PhD degree, for which the normal duration of study is three years. The format is almost entirely research-based and while projects may be exclusively theoretical or observational, many combine aspects of both. Many projects incorporate aspects of Data Science including machine ...
Astrophysics
Astrophysics. From the search for exoplanets and the origins of life in the Universe, through the study of extreme phenomena involving the physics of black holes to the earliest phases of the Big Bang, astrophysics and cosmology have never had a more exciting agenda. The future programme in Astrophysics and Cosmology encompasses some of the ...
PhD in Physics
There is no requirement made by the University for postgraduate students to attend formal courses or lectures for the PhD. Postgraduate work is largely a matter of independent research and successful postgraduates require a high degree of self-motivation. Nevertheless, lectures and classes may be arranged, and students are expected to attend ...
PhD in Physics
For admission to the PhD, the Postgraduate Admissions Office normally requires applicants to have achieved the equivalent of a UK Masters (Pass). Applicants should obtain the equivalent of: at least a 2:i in a UK three-year Bachelor's (Honours) degree plus a relevant one/two -year UK Master's degree. All applicants are assessed individually on ...

Department of Physics
The Department of Physics, or the Cavendish Laboratory as it is widely known, has a long history of world leading research and teaching. The Cavendish is home to approximately 430 graduate students and admits students to six different programmes although the the majority are studying for a PhD in one of the 15 research groups .
PhD opportunties

The DAMTP Astrophysics group typically admits two or three students every year to the PhD programme. We currently have about eight PhD students supervised by Henrik Latter, Gordon Ogilvie, Roman Rafikov and Giulio Del Zanna.
Astrophysics
Astrophysics : Group Website : Staff. The Cavendish Astrophysics Group carries out a wide range of research programmes centred on four major areas each linked to experimental and instrumental programmes. The areas and the associated facilities are: The Formation of Stars and Planets. Observational Cosmology of the Microwave Background Radiation.

Atomic astrophysics. Atomic physics plays a key role in astrophysics as astronomers' only information about a particular object comes through the light that it emits, and this light arises through atomic transitions. The main astronomical body that we study is the Sun and, in particular, the hot atmosphere of the Sun called the corona.

When Professor Didier Queloz spotted a light emitting from a star many light years away from the Earth, he thought it signalled the end of his PhD. Read more Professor Didier Queloz wins 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for first discovery of an exoplanet
PhD Admissions in High Energy Physics, General Relativity and Cosmology
Current PhD opportunity (closes 15 December 2023): Newnham-DAMTP PhD scholarship for Women. Please note that if you wish to be considered for funding from the University Postgraduate Funding Competition you must apply by the relevant date (Gates US: 11 October 2023; all other funding: 4 January 2024).
Graduate Applications
Applications to start a PhD in October 2022 will be considered from November 2021 onwards. Successful applicants are likely to have a first class undergraduate degree in mathematics, physics or computer science, and should ideally also have an M.Sc. or equivalent qualification. Candidates considering applying directly from an undergraduate ...
Astrophysics physicists
Designed for teaching astrophysics to physics students at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, this textbook also provides an overview of astrophysics for astrophysics graduate students, before they delve into more specialized volumes. Assuming background knowledge at the level of a ...

Cambridge Astrophysics
The Cambridge Astrophysics Series (CAPS) was founded in 1978, and has become an important source of high-quality books in astrophysics, written for professionals and graduate students. The series is dedicated to the publication of research level monographs, extended reviews, and graduate textbooks, and covers all areas of contemporary astrophysics.
The Open Effective Field Theory of Inflation

Five MIT faculty elected to the National Academy of Sciences for 2024
Senthil Todadri, a professor of physics, came to MIT in 2001. He received his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur and his PhD from Yale University before working as a postdoc at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, California. Todadri's research focuses on condensed matter theory.
MASt in Astrophysics
MASt in Astrophysics. Astrophysics is no longer accepting new applications.

Four from MIT named 2024 Knight-Hennessy Scholars
MIT senior Owen Dugan, graduate student Vittorio Colicci '22, predoctoral research fellow Carine You '22, and recent alumna Carina Letong Hong '22 are recipients of this year's Knight-Hennessy Scholarships. The competitive fellowship, now in its seventh year, funds up to three years of graduate studies in any field at Stanford University.
Physicists create five-lane superhighway for electrons

Jixiang Yang and Junseok Seo, both graduate students in MIT physics; Chiho Yoon and Fan Zhang of the University of Texas at Dallas; ... Cambridge, MA ...
MPhil in Astronomy
The degree is not suitable for physicists and mathematicians wishing to prepare for a research PhD in Astrophysics and the number of students admitted is small. Historically, most MPhil students have secured funding for their MPhil studies through applications to scholarship programmes such as Churchill, Gates and Marshall.
Glimpse of next-generation internet
The Harvard team established the practical makings of the first quantum internet by entangling two quantum memory nodes separated by optical fiber link deployed over a roughly 22-mile loop through Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, and Boston. The two nodes were located a floor apart in Harvard's Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering.
