The UWE Graduate School is offering a funded full-time PhD studentship in:
2.5D and 3D image capture and print in the cultural heritage field:
evaluation of current and developing technologies, potential
applications and practical workflows.
This is an AHRC funded Collaborative Doctoral Award (CDA) between the
Centre for Fine Print Research and the National Gallery in London.
The PhD student will examine this complex field by:
Identifying, simplifying and demonstrating how these new tools can be
efficiently and appropriately used in the day to day study,
documentation and presentation of cultural heritage objects,
concentrating particularly on issues and applications relevant to the
National Gallery and its collection.
This could include, for example, investigating what structural changes
occur in paintings over time, how they can be documented, and how
conservation treatments can affect these structural changes.
The student will determine the relevance of particular hardware and
software - as well as establishing cost implications.
The PhD student will be based in Bristol, but will be working in active
collaboration with the National Gallery and will be expected to
undertake secondments to the National Gallery totalling around six
months over the three years of the project.
