We are looking for a visionary person with a professional profile who is committed to cross disciplinary collaboration, delivering results, presenting knowledge and contributing with innovative thinking in the area. With a focus on process and method, you are expected to be able to contribute with cutting-edge knowledge to the field to test and predict the effect of time, climate change and conservation treatments on heritage collections. The Institute of Conservation aims to build a strong research team and to be at the forefront development in preventive conservation, material science and predictive modelling to design optimal heritage preservation considering climate change and minimized museums’ energy consumption. Our aim is to strengthen the capacity and capability for material testing, modelling and prediction of degradation for cultural and natural heritage collections, to supplement our research competencies in the field and to reinforce our networks and collaborations, both nationally and internationally.
