PhD student awarded JWST time to study supermassive black holes Houda Haidar has been awarded observing time on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study how dust behaves near supermassive black holes.

JWST bling incoming! @newcastleuni.bsky.social PhD researcher Houda Haidar leads our unique study into the interplay between jet shocks and dust in nearby active galaxies. Incredibly, this is Houda's first ever observing proposal!

Excited to share the first of several positions opening up in my group. This one is a postdoc position on multi-messenger astrophysics with the LISA mission. Please share widely & applications from ECRs are welcome, esp those from underrepresented groups in physics. vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Post...
