The Collections Analytical Lab (CAL) at Yale University's Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (IPCH) is a newly created lab designed to serve as the primary home for conservation science partnership across Yale's museum and library collections. CAL's charge is to provide analytical research expertise as a key contributor to Yale's exhibition, loan, publication, and preventive conservation programs. The lab provides timely and responsive consultation, within staff capacity, to research requests related to conservation treatment, curatorial inquiry, object interpretation, routine diagnostics, storage conditions, etc. CAL will prioritize limited scale projects and employ methods that leverage IPCH's established infrastructure, while also building new university relationships as projects develop. Organizationally, CAL sits beside the Heritage Science Research Lab (HSRL) at IPCH which has been newly re-charged to focus on large-scale, long-duration research projects, teaching, and international partnerships. IPCH seeks an experienced, dedicated leader to serve as the inaugural Director of the Collections Analytical Lab (CAL). Reporting to the Director of IPCH, the CAL Director will lead and direct a lab focused on analytical research of cultural heritage materials within the Yale collections. Utilizing diplomacy, compromise, and outstanding management and communication skills, the Director will establish collaborative relationships and maintain efficient and sustainable workflows across multiple collection stakeholders. In establishing a new lab, the CAL Director will work closely with the Director of IPCH to determine staffing and funding plans to help grow the lab's capacity, as well as establish clear documentation and reporting and defined metrics of success.
