Post-doctoral research associate positions (2) for two years at the University of Texas at Dallas The EODIAH Conservation Science Research Group at the University of Texas at Dallas, led by Professor David McPhail, is seeking to appoint two Postdoctoral Research Associates to two-year positions to work on research projects in Conservation Science. The research will be in collaboration with a number of museums in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond, including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Amon Carter Museum and the Harry Ransom Center. The research group was established in January 2016 and its primary aim is to undertake scientific research in collaboration with local museums in order to deliver useful practicable solutions to curators and conservators regarding the conservation of objects in their care, and their technical art history. The research group laboratory is equipped with instruments that are being used for the air-based non-invasive non-destructive study of artifacts and includes an M6 Jetstream scanning XRF, a VSC 8000 colorimeter, a ZeGage white light interferometer, and a number of optical microscopes that can operate in the UV and visible. Importantly, all these instruments are transportable, if necessary, and can 'go to the art'. We also use, in collaboration with the Geosciences department, a Giga-macro large area imaging apparatus and an environmental SEM. A plethora of state-of-the-art complimentary research equipment such as FTIR, Raman, SEM, SIMS, TEM and FIB are available on campus.
