We seek a candidate with solid competence in the preservation of painted objects, and with a broad understanding of painted surfaces and structures. You should be able to bring the various fields of conservation closer together. The successful applicant is expected to collaborate with the Museum's other academic environments and help promote the use of our collections in research. The researcher is expected to participate in and initiate research projects both nationally and internationally in line with the Museum's strategy. The position includes 50% research time and 50% museum work, including administrative tasks within both fields. In addition to research, the position includes varied academic and practical tasks related to conservation of the museum's painted objects, loans and exhibitions, as well as professional communication. The Department of Collection Management is organized into two groups; the group for conservation and the group for digital documentation, IT, photography and archives. The department currently has 40 employees. The department also includes the research and development project Saving Oseberg. This project documents wooden objects from the Oseberg find and investigates preservation methods to slow down the degradation of alum-treated wooden objects. Within the framework of Saving Oseberg, the department and the museum established considerable analysis facilities that can be developed further. The conservation group constitutes the largest professional environment in Norway in conservation, with currently 14 conservators specialised in archaeological, ethnographic and painted materials, as well as a chemist.
