required for the hyper-spectral imaging of old master paintings,
followed by their installation and set-up.  The post holder will

dissemination of image-based analytical data is preferred.

You must have a first degree in an appropriate scientific field and

have experience in hyper-spectral imaging, spectroscopy,
multi-spectral imaging, advanced digital image processing and/or
colour science.  You must also have strong practical computing
experience, including programming within appropriate image
processing, mathematical and/or spectroscopy based software
packages.  It is also desirable for you to have a strong knowledge
of the materials of paintings.

This is a fixed term contract research fellowship which will run for
