Organization

The department has approximately 400 employees, of whom two-thirds are scientific staff. Research at the department is organized into five sections and two centers. The research platforms are embedded within the sections but serve the entire department as well as external partners and clients.

The department’s teaching unit, the Teaching Core, coordinates and develops the teaching activities across the department. The Administrative and Service Unit supports the scientific staff and ensures the smooth running of administrative processes.

The department is led by the Head of Department and a Leadership Team comprising the Section Heads, the Head of Administration, the Senior Grant Advisor, and the Head of Teaching. The Head of Department is supported by an external Advisory Board, a Strategic Faculty Forum, a Liaison Committee, and a Work Environment Committee.
