Join our Board of Trustees
The National Heritage Science Forum (NHSF) is looking for three trustees (including an Honorary Secretary) to join its Board at a pivotal time for heritage science in the UK.
Heritage science is the scientific study of cultural and natural heritage. It brings people together from the arts and sciences and is used in the understanding, care and long-term management of heritage, as well as to increase people's enjoyment of heritage. It spans the use of sub-microscopic techniques to the exploration of global issues such as climate change.
We are looking for people who support our aims of increasing collaboration and knowledge-exchange, and communicating the role of heritage science in creating better outcomes for society.
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and you do not need to have previous experience as a trustee. We are particularly keen to encourage applications from people who can help us to diversify our income base, develop our membership, and communicate the value of heritage science to a wider audience.

Application process: please send a CV and covering letter explaining why you would like to become a trustee of NHSF to Caroline Peach, administrator@heritagescienceforum.org.uk by 13th November 2024.
Online interviews are planned for the week starting 25th November 2024.
The successful candidates would be proposed to the membership for appointment to NHSF's Board of Trustees at the AGM in January 2025.
