The Department has a diverse mix of over 220 researchers: some employed directly by the University, some working in the Department on daily basis but funded directly by sponsors, fellowships or other means and some visiting the Departmenet less frequently.
This handbook intends to bring together information relevant to all contract research staff, all of whom play an important and valuable role in the Department’s world leading research. If you are unsure of any information, please ask your PI, supervisor, line manager or a member of the personnel administration office.
