PhD Studentships at the University of Edinburgh
The Institute for Astronomy (IfA) is located at the historic and beautiful Royal Observatory Edinburgh on Blackford Hill and makes up approximately one third of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. PhD stipends are tax-free, and full-time students are typically exempt from council tax. Each year, the IfA admits a new cohort of about 10 PhD students from around the UK and the world. We are now accepting applications for admission in September 2026. Application deadlines from December 5th 2025 to January 5th 2026.
