Job description
As a PhD student at Ghent University, you will join the ERC-Consolidator Grant project ‘A New Connoisseurship: Smart ways to detect forgeries (ARTDETECT
2024-2028)' (https://research.ugent.be/web/result/project/9c25c11e-9c48-49b9-ae44-5b57f8a0f364/details/en ), under the leadership of the principal investigator, Professor Anna Tummers. The project is focused on developing novel approaches to detect forgeries. The team will consist of seven members who will collaborate closely.
PhD project 2 is an in-depth study of craquelure patterns, both natural and artificial, using relevant examples, mock-ups, high resolution imaging, visual and chemical analyses. The aim is to define what characteristics and patterns are particularly distinctive and why. A special focus will be on significant anomalies that betray artificial ageing. As the creation of mockups and the interpretation of craquelure patterns requires not only art historical expertise but also in-depth conservation and restoration expertise, the Ph.D. candidate will be jointly supervised by the principal investigator and by Prof. dr. Ella Hendriks (University of Amsterdam).
Within the context of the ARTDETECT project, the successful candidate will:
- Write a PhD dissertation for a degree in Art History;
- Submit at least 2 articles for publication with a peer-reviewed journal;
- Collect, analyze and create different types of data and source materials relevant to the ARTDETECT research project and include these in the project database;
- Attend regular in-person team meetings;
- Disseminate your research through participation in international workshops and conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
- Assist in event planning and organization
- Assist in promoting the visibility of the project
