In the Conservation Science (CS) division, we study heritage materials and their properties for their identification, to further conservation, authentication, interpretation and to understand behaviour in different environments. We utilize a broad range of laboratory based and portable scientific instrumentation including but not limited to; gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and a range of scientific imaging techniques. We carry out this work as part of our services delivered to heritage clients. We also carry out this work to further the research and development that support CCI's mandate and to advance the international field of heritage science. Research at CCI can include the study of materials to understand chemical and physical properties of heritage materials or materials used in conservation treatment, the development of scientific methods and applied research to answer conservation questions and generate new knowledge for treatments or collections, based on an accumulation and interpretation of experimental data. As the Manager of Conservation Science, you will be expected to: Manage an interdisciplinary team of heritage scientists with a variety of specializations; Build relationships with stakeholders in the heritage sector to better understand client needs and to create mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations; Triage requests and monitor the performance of services rendered to external clients; Manage the forecasting/invoicing of revenue and overall budget for the team; Manage the long-term planning and daily requirements of laboratory-based functions with specialised equipment and responsibilities as relate to occupational health and safety; Work to ensure that the CS team is contributing towards overall CCI strategic objectives, all the while responding to the needs of clients; Manage complex projects and work closely with other CCI managers and professional staff for projects requiring input from other specialists.
