You will be responsible for developing conservation science research and programmes in support of The Heritage Conservation Centre’s (HCC) new research strategies addressing the sustainable use and care of the growing National Collection in Singapore. You will join a larger team of 35 over conservators that includes conservators of paintings, objects, paper, textiles, and a conservation scientist. You will be expected to possess research/ analysis experience applicable to a wide range of historical and contemporary heritage and conservation materials both organic and inorganic alongside their respective ageing behaviours; to be a strong team-player enjoying working in a collaborative manner and show initiative and resourcefulness in handling difficult and unusual analytical problems. Research areas include technical analysis of artefacts and their treatment methods, the understanding of their aging behaviour and how to reduce the rate of associated material deterioration. It encompasses selecting most appropriate, preferably non-destructive, and portable techniques of analysis and exploring most relevant methods to process, enhance, interpret, and share data obtained.
