Starting Research Career Infrastructure Services in Heritage Science
Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences operates specialised research infrastructure for heritage science and provides services for interdisciplinary research in the field.
The STARCAIS programme offers
infrastructure support to young researchers –
Ph.D. students or post-docs - at the beginning of their career. Persons interested
in such a support are asked to
submit a research task proposal briefly describing the desired research
infrastructure services
involving any of the following:
A. Combined medium
aero-elastic and climatic wind tunnel
capable of simulating weather events producing the combined loading oh historical materials or
heritage structure models.
B.
X-ray 3D Computed Tomography (CT)
technology for non-destructive scanning that makes it possible to view and inspect the
external and internal structures of heritage objects in 3D space.
C.
A mobile
laboratory equipped with in the only devices of their kind in the world for
in-situ non- or semi-destructive investigations into heritage structures and
buildings.
D. An
experimental lime
kiln and laboratories for investigating lime technologies under Innovative Training
Network MC H2020 2021-2025 on the Interdisciplinary Studies of Pre-modern Plasters and
Ceramics from the Eastern Mediterranean.
E. The digitization of small- and medium- sized cultural heritage objects
utilizing
custom-built devices for automatic image acquisition implementing motion and
photometric stereo optical methods as well as methods for the detection of artifact defects based
on thermal and radiographic imaging.
The task proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the quality
of the research plan and its compatibility with ITAM's Heritage Science research interests as
formulated by the Research Council.
Successful applicants will then be provided with the
stipulated services free of charge on the basis of an service grant
agreement.
