We encourage you to join our group and apply for the position of Assistant Professor in the GRIEG project! We are looking for a person holding a doctoral degree in material science, mechanical engineering, physics or mathematics and computer science for a period of 36 months.
The Assistant Professor reporting to the head of the CHR group will work on the development of a comprehensive mechanical model of historical, aged paint layers – innovative at a global scale. The paint layer is a complex assembly of strata of humidity-sensitive materials which have – over centuries – aged, cracked and delaminated. Cracks join up into the network – the craquelure pattern – which is a distinctive characteristic of materials and physical structure of the artwork, an outcome of the construction and painting techniques employed by the workshop and the artist. The Assistant Professor will work on the analysis of craquelure patterns in real objects using image analysis methods.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the full offer on our website.
