For this position, you combine an academic-level education as a metals conservator and proven experience as a conservator working in that field, with a PhD degree, and experience as an educator in the field of metals conservation. As the ideal candidate, you have a strong profile in research that enhances our understanding of the material composition, making, ageing and conservation of archaeological metal objects, preferably with experience in collaborating with archaeologists or with a background that includes archaeology courses. Experience in the use of participatory practices (forms of community engagement) is of additional interest. Teaching within The University of Amsterdam (UvA) Conservation and Restoration is primarily connected to the metal conservation specialisation. However, we expect the candidate to expand approaches to other specialisations, playing a role in programme-wide courses and collaborating with our other specialisations to teach the conservation of archaeological objects composed of other materials besides metal, such as glass, ceramics, textiles, and wood.
