The research group at which this position is posted is called CHART (Cultural Heritage and Archaeometric Research Team). Cultural Heritage and archaeometric research deal with investigations of samples originating from all sorts of culturally important artefacts: those procured by archaeologists in excavations, medieval buildings, handmade artefacts of all kinds, pieces of art, written materials. In CHART we take up the challenge of investigating cultural heritage objects on an international level using chemistry and physics. We aim at making a difference on the international scene by inventing new analytical methodologies, investigating objects of national and international interest, and by always securing collaboration between natural science and the humanities. The present position is aimed at executing the already financed CIPP Center (Center for the Interior of Parchment and Paper), which involves the investigation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the development of new methods for analysing paper and parchment, and a new project on poisonous books conducted in collaboration with the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, Pisa University, and the Library at SDU.
