SustainCARE brings together heritage science, building physics, advanced modelling, and climate-conscious preservation, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to an internationally visible, high-impact ERC project. We aim to develop a holistic, multiscale understanding of how documentary heritage interacts with its environment— explaining the mechanisms of natural ageing, linking molecular processes to repository conditions, and revealing the environmental resilience of documentary heritage. As a member of this team, you will not just be studying the past; you will be building the tools to protect its future, developing sustainable strategies that democratise preservation and open entirely new research horizons in a changing climate. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of degradation models for documentary heritage by integrating material-level micro-environmental dynamics, the effects of text and pictorial layers, and monitoring data from natural ageing.
