Vacancy: PhD position in Digital Art History (1.0 FTE)
The Department of History and Art History at Utrecht University is looking for a candidate in the field of digital art history for the PhD-project “The (R)evolution of Reconstruction: an analysis of digital facsimiles”. This project analyses the value of digital facsimiles for researchers, heritage institutions, and museum visitors, in the past, present and future.
The chosen candidate will focus on digitally reconstructing the medieval altarpiece for St. John’s Cathedral in Den Bosch, created by the Utrecht-based sculptor Adriaen van Wesel. Although partially preserved, this object is considered the finest example of a fifteenth-century altarpiece in the Northern Netherlands.
Deadline to apply: June 15, 2023.
