Scientific Manager
Scientific managers are primarily involved in scientific management tasks. They act as the link between research and teaching on the one hand and the University administration on the other hand.
The area of responsibility covered by scientific managers is heterogeneous and ranges from the management and coordination of larger units in research, teaching and transfer, as well as project, quality and financial management to personnel and appointment management, the development of concepts/strategies, (science) communication and events management.
They can acquire third-party funding, publish work and, from the starting point of their working areas, establish an internal and external network in order to bring developments at national and international level to their areas at MUHS. If they are involved in teaching and research, they can supervise dissertation/thesis projects. They should also play a role in academic self-governance.
