Scholarship in heritage science

Heritage Science Scholarship
University College, London MRes in Science and Engineering in Art,
    Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA)

    Funded by Historic Royal Palaces (HRP)

Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) is funding a scholarship, which is open
to candidates accepted onto the UCL MRes in Science and Engineering
in Art, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA).  Over the two-year period
the successful applicant will spend time studying towards the MRes
degree at UCL and with the HRP Conservation and Collection Care
department at Hampton Court Palace, carrying out scientific research
to support significant conservation projects such as the
conservation of the Rubens ceiling paintings at the Banqueting
House.  Heritage science is an interdisciplinary research field
encompasses all technological and scientific work that can benefit
the heritage sector.

The scholarship covers the course fees for a UK/EU student and a
stipend of UKP10,000 a year for living expenses.  We are seeking an
individual who

    Is enthusiastic about science

    Has strong intellectual abilities proven with the achievement of
    a good first degree

    Plans to make a career in the UK heritage sector

    Has a passion for history and for communicating conservation and
    heritage science to the public

Having completed the course, the graduate will be expected to seek
employment in the UK in the first instance.

We particularly welcome black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME)
applicants as we consider that these groups are currently
under-represented both in heritage science and within our own
organisation: we believe that there should be better representation
of our diverse society in this sector.  HRP is committed to building
an organisation that truly values the differences in people.  We are
an equal opportunities employer and truly value a diverse workforce.

If you are interested in this unique opportunity you will be invited
to an open day at Hampton Court Palace where you will meet our
scientists and discuss our exciting research projects.

Deadline for applications: 1 September 2016.

Please apply online through the UCL application system
