Offre d’emploi : Chargé(e) de projet de recherche – Programme Getty Global Art & Sustainability Fellowship (H/F)

🇬🇧 English version below

Le programme Getty Global Art and Sustainability Fellows (A&SF) vise à former une nouvelle génération de leaders internationaux dans les domaines des arts, des sciences et du développement durable. Pendant six ans, il soutient des professionnels en début de carrière à travers des opportunités de recherche et de développement professionnel. Le programme met l’accent sur la gestion durable du patrimoine, l’application de la science au secteur culturel, et la sensibilisation aux enjeux culturels des crises climatiques et de biodiversité.

Dans ce cadre, la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) recrute un(e) chargé(e) de projet de recherche pour un contrat de 24 mois. Le projet, intitulé « Gestion du climat », vise à optimiser les consignes climatiques des espaces de conservation afin de réduire la consommation énergétique tout en garantissant la préservation des collections. L’étude s’appuiera sur la collecte de données climatiques et de vieillissement dans différents espaces, et aboutira à la création d’un outil prédictif basé sur un modèle mathématique pour adapter les conditions climatiques selon les types de collections.

Job Opening: Research Project Officer at the National Library of France — Getty Global Art & Sustainability Fellowships

Activities and tasks

The Getty Global Art and Sustainability Fellows program (A&SF) (https://www.getty.edu/projects/getty-global-art-sustainability-fellows/) is fostering a new generation of leaders focused on arts and sustainability through research and professional development opportunities for early-career specialists in the arts and sciences.
At a moment of global concern about climate threats and the need for practical solutions, this Getty initiative is supporting professionals at cultural and scientific organizations who are at the vanguard of thinking about where and how to center sustainability and resilience in the arts and cultural heritage.
Unfolding over six years, the program offers Fellows the opportunity to contribute to critical priorities around the sustainable management of heritage resources, apply cutting-edge science to the cultural sector, and communicate the cultural dimensions of the climate and biodiversity crises to broader audiences.
This international initiative complements and expands Getty’s holistic commitment to sustainability, which includes Museum Collection Environments research, adoption of the Bizot Green Protocol for museums, the PST ART Climate Impact Program, collaborations around archaeological sites and climate change, and the transformation of its own facilities and campuses.

The Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) is recruiting a research scientist for a period of 24 months for the project “Climate Management: Optimizing Climate Control at the BnF to Ensure the Conservation of Collections with an Eco-Responsible Approach.”
This project aims to train a young researcher who will help optimize climate guidelines and the control of climate systems in the various conservation areas of the BnF, in order to reduce energy consumption while maintaining good conditions for the conservation of collections.
This two-year study will focus on a selection of different conservation spaces at the BnF in order to collect relevant indicator data, including material aging data from representative samples of different types of collections stored in these areas, while testing new climate ranges in some of these selected spaces. These elements should contribute to the development and implementation of a predictive tool based on a mathematical model, which will assess the optimal climate ranges according to the type of collection and the type of conservation storage.
This work will be supervised by the scientific laboratory of the BnF’s Conservation Department (DSC), where the successful candidate will be based, in close collaboration with the Technical Resources Department (DMT).

The successful candidate will be required to work on four different tasks:

  • Task 1: Test new climate guidelines in collaboration with the Technical Resources Department in different areas of the BnF, and assess their economic and ecological impact.
  • Task 2: Collect data on various types of indicators related to the conservation of collections (climatic data records, biological indicators, air quality, socio-economic indicators, previous restorations, etc.) and develop a database.
  • Task 3: Develop and implement a predictive mathematical model, based on the integration of all the data collected, which will optimize climate conditions according to the area and type of collections concerned.
  • Task 4: Disseminate the knowledge acquired during the project to different types of audiences, professionals, and BnF users in the form of seminars, workshops, and publications.

Required skills

We are looking for a candidate holding a PhD in physical chemistry, biology, or climatology, with a specialization in data processing and modeling.

Required skills/experience:

  • Proficiency in data analysis and IT tools, particularly R, Python, and Matlab
  • Previous experience in managing, organizing, and querying datasets
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Ability to adapt to a wide variety of tasks
  • Ability to work independently
  • Ability to work in interdisciplinary teams with ongoing exchanges between different professions (chemists, technical staff, IT specialists, industry professionals, restorers, and heritage conservators)
  • Very good knowledge of French and English (equivalent to level B1)

Highly valued skills:

  • Ability to conduct experimental programs involving material aging tests
  • A keen interest in issues related to sustainability, ecology, and heritage conservation will be highly appreciated

Specific features of the position / constraints / requirements

The successful candidate will be eligible for a relocation allowance covered by the funding allocation.
The position is scheduled to start in November 2025 and will last for a period of 24 months.
Regular trips to all BnF sites (Bussy-Saint-Georges, Richelieu, François-Mitterrand, Arsenal, Opéra) is required.
Candidates must not have specific allergies to mold or chemicals.
The position involves prolonged and frequent standing.
