A postdoctoral position at the Art Conservation Research Center,
Carnegie Mellon University is available to conduct independent
research on developing sensors for monitoring degradation of
polymers used for making art, books, and archival materials.
Responsibilities include determining from current technologies the
best means for monitoring physical defects and chemical changes
which occur during the service lifetime of the polymer and creating
and testing the sensor on real materials.  Qualified candidates
should have a Ph.D. in analytical/physical chemistry, materials
science, or physics with an emphasis in sensor technology.  The
candidate should have an interest in beginning or continuing a
career in art conservation science. Familiarity with analytical
instrumentation, ultrasound and optical spectroscopies, personal
computers, and instrument interface programming language is
