Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship: Integrating Materials Chemistry and Art for Metallic Art Conservation

塔米拉塞特克莱尔，费城艺术博物馆，是一个发现军团博士后研究员为2006-2007和2007-2008学年。克莱尔博士的研究将集中在开发用于艺术保护领域的纳米结构、超疏水性保护涂层，特别是用于青铜雕塑等金属艺术的涂层。 该项目还包括为高中生，特别是费城公立学校高度多样化的学生群体设计和实施一个基于化学和艺术的讲习班。 这个发现军团博士后奖学金是由化学和多学科活动办公室的司支持。探索军团奖学金计划是一项试点计划，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将联合收割机研究专业知识与专业服务相结合。探索团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目提高了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索队计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Tami Lasseter Clare, Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 academic years. Dr. Clare's research will focus on developing nanostructured, super-hydrophobic, protective coatings for use in the field of art conservation, specifically coatings for metallic art, such as bronze sculptures. The project also includes designing and implementing a workshop based on chemistry and art for high school students, particularly the highly diverse student population in the Philadelphia public schools. This Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
