At the Rijksmuseum, we are engaged in leading research into our own collection on a daily basis. To uncover the provenance of an object for instance, or the materials it is made of. As a Research Scientist specialised in microscopy and spectroscopy you will carry out scientific research into the smallest elements of art. A challenging role that allows you to build bridges between natural science, art and the general public. Your task will be to find out more about the material composition and evolution of iconic pieces in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Initially, much of your time will be dedicated to “The Night Watch” by Rembrandt. You will make use of techniques like light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron-based techniques. As well as doing research, you will also be looking after the equipment in the Rijksmuseum. You will always work closely together with restoration and conservation staff and fellow natural scientists.
