This is your chance to work with Tate conservation scientists in one
of the most globally important art institutions on ground-breaking
research into a significant challenge facing modern and contemporary
art conservation.

You will make a significant contribution by exploring several
aspects of oil paint formulations and case studies on works of art,
analysing and testing surface cleaning systems for soiling removal.
You'll also circulate results to our research partners, contribute
to the dissemination of research, and facilitate the transfer of
knowledge from the project into practice within Tate.  Materials
analysis of modern and contemporary painted and other oil-based
works from our collection will also fall within your remit.

An active post-doctoral researcher, having recently completed
doctoral studies, or are close to completion, you will have
experience in one of conservation science, heritage science,
technical art history or a physical science.  Alongside at least two
publications that demonstrate autonomous and original research
related to conservation or heritage science, you will bring
experience of gas chromatography, FTIR spectroscopy, digital
microscopy or equivalent.

As the role will involve multiple collaborations with international
partners, meticulous organisation and attention to detail will be
essential.  Above all, you will be driven to achieve with the
ability to use your own initiative, and deliver results within a
specific timeframe.
