Studentships at Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology, University of Oxford and University of Brighton

Doctoral studentships (2 positions)

The Centre for Doctoral Training Science and Engineering in Arts,
Heritage and Archaeology at UCL, University of Oxford and University
of Brighton is delighted to be offering two exceptionally exciting
doctoral studentships:

"Developing preventive conservation strategies for 'problem stones':
    Reigate Stone at the Tower of London"
<URL:http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/P24-Project-Advert-FINAL.pdf>

    This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the
    conservation of historic stonework at the major London monuments
    of the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace.  The doctoral
    project will learn from past experience in order to produce
    holistic conservation strategies for the future--enabling the
    student to develop a wide range of scientific and practical
    skills in the diagnosis and treatment of material deterioration.
    The scholarship will be supervised jointly by the University of
    Oxford School of Geography and the Environment, Historic Royal
    Palaces, and Carden and Godfrey Architects.

    Application Deadline: 15 May 2015

"Strain modelling in historical tapestries"
<URL:http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/P1-2015-Advert-FINAL2.pdf>

    This studentship will investigate cutting edge real-time in-situ
    tri-axial strain monitoring sensors to provide data to inform
    analytical modelling of tapestries using Finite Elements and
    explicit mathematical formulations together with modern Dynamic
    Equilibrium methods used in fabric simulations.  The project
    will be jointly supervised by the UCL Department of Civil,
    Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, UCL Institute for
    Sustainable Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces and IBM T.J. Watson
    Research Center.

    Application Deadline: Open until filled.

The UK EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering
in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) is an 8-year initiative
(2014-2022) to establish an infrastructure to meet challenges set by
the heritage sector, industry and government.  Working with heritage
and industry partners, SEAHA students will create, innovate or use
sensors, instrumentation, imaging, digital and creative technologies
to improve our understanding of heritage, to develop science and
engineering capabilities and to benefit the economy.
