Position at Centre for Sustainable Heritage, UCL

At UCL Centre for Sustainable Heritage, in collaboration with
National Archief (The Netherlands) and TeraView (UK), we are
delighted to be able to offer an exceptionally exciting EngD
studentship, project title: "Terahertz Imaging for Archival
Heritage".

This project aims to introduce state-of-the-art THZ pulsed imaging
systems into the practice of structural and chemical monitoring of
heritage objects of organic origin (full project proposal available
on request). This interdisciplinary project crossing the domains of
physics, engineering, chemistry, computer science and conservation,
will develop methods for imaging of information, structures and
degradation beneath the immediate surface of valuable archival
objects. The successful applicant will have a physical science,
mathematics, or engineering background, with experience in
experimental research. Experience with instrumental material
characterisation and an interest in cultural heritage are desirable.
The student will be supervised jointly by Dr Matija Strlic (UCL
Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, Centre for Sustainable
Heritage), Professor Sir Michael Pepper (Department of Electronic
and Electrical Engineering and Director of Teraview) and Dr Phil
Taday (Teraview). The student is expected to submit short monthly
reports to the co-funder (Nationaal Archief) who will be consulted
on all collection management and conservation issues.

To apply, please e-mail Dr. Matija Strlic <m.strlic<-a t->ucl< . >ac< . >uk> a
covering letter and a full CV (including contact details for at
least two academic referees plus marks/grades achieved on current
courses). The covering letter should outline your interest in
researching the suggested topic, and a clear statement of your
eligibility for this ESPRC funded award.
