We are seeking a research scientist who is highly experienced in the field of organic residue analysis of heritage materials through the use of gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and compound-specific isotope ratio mass spectrometry, including the use of a thermal separation probe. Under the direction of the academic leads, the role will involve working across a number of research projects, including supporting in the development of project design of external collaborators applying to use our services (Centre for Chemical Characterisation in Heritage Science; C3HS) through the AHRC RICHeS Access fund, or other sources. The role will also involve extraction, instrumental analysis and interpretation/reporting of organic residues, as well as providing training and support to other users. These projects may include a range of heritage materials, including pottery absorbed residues, paintings and amorphous visible deposits on heritage objects. The role may include protocol development to support specific needs, as well as preparation of organic residues for compound-specific radiocarbon dating.
