Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science

The Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science is a two-year research fellowship that provides recent PhD recipients in chemistry and other physical or material sciences with experience in conservation science. The fellow will be part of the Getty Conservation Institute’s Materials Characterization research group, working on characterizing organic materials in cultural heritage (primarily paints and plastics), developing analytical protocols and advanced data evaluation methods. The role involves collaboration with researchers at other institutions and practicing conservators and contributes to conservation treatment strategies and technical art history studies.

Two-year postdoctoral appointment providing hands-on experience in conservation science; participation in research projects and collaborations; development of analytical protocols and advanced data evaluation methods; collaboration with external researchers and practicing conservators.
