The goal is to study short term and long term drying reactions, and notably reactivity between metallic catalysts and alkyd binders. Such a question is fundamental both for the conservation of master pieces but also for the development of industrial paints. The analyses will be mainly based on 2D ...
One of the most common deterioration problems affecting cultural heritage worldwide is crystallization damage caused by an interplay between salts, environmental changes and material properties. Especially porous materials are susceptible to salt crystallization. It threatens artworks such as ...
Your PhD will be conducted within the Earth/Environmental Science leg of this project, which is driven by two key objectives. The first objective is to characterize the geophysical properties of governing soil types in Flanders. By creating a detailed inventory of these property variations, the ...
The ERC CoG project “Animals Make Identities” (AMI) at the University of Helsinki runs from 2020–2025 and is directed by Dr. Kristiina Mannermaa. AMI seeks to understand links between hunter-gatherers and animals and reconstruct life histories of humans, animals and artefacts based on burial ...
The aim of this PhD project will be to generate and analyse genome-wide human ancient DNA data for a large sample (n>400) of human skeletal remains from different archaeological contexts in the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans to explore the effects of migration on the fate of Bronze Age ...
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated student to undertake a fully-funded PhD project reconstructing the Holocene palaeoenvironment of Port Phillip Bay and investigating human-environmental interactions. The project builds on existing data, with new cores taken by our Industry ...
The Alfeld and Van de Plas labs are currently offering a joint PhD position in instrumental and computational methods for multi-modal adaptive imaging, with a focus on imaging historical samples and cultural artefacts such as paintings. This position will lie at the interface between on the one ...
