Bolsa: Doctoral research fellowship in conservation
One PhD Research Fellowship is available for a Paintings Conservator to contribute to the project ‘After the Black Death: Painting and Polychrome Sculpture in Norway, 1350‒1550’ (ABD). The position is funded by The Research Council of Norway between 2014 and 2017.
ABD aims to generate scientific knowledge about a collection of late-medieval liturgical objects owned by the Museum of Cultural History (KHM), University of Oslo. The collection includes altarpieces and polychrome sculpture, the majority of which were imported to Norway from northern Germany and the Netherlands prior to the Reformation. Within this, the mechanisms of ageing and the deterioration of painted objects from this historical period are of specific interest. The project is based in Conservation Studies, in the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History, University of Oslo (UiO).
