The Natural History Museum (NHM) has developed strong expertise on nanomaterial synthesis and
characterisation with the aim to understand the properties that contribute to their potential toxicity. The
NHM Nano Team along with Curation is seeking a nanomaterials scientist to develop a reference
collection of nanaomaterials, involving:
investigating how a future nanocollection may be developed;
synthesising a range of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles for the nanocolleciton
investigating methodologies for the optimum storage of the above
developing guidelines for collections management needs to ensure the nanocollection can be
used for further research.
