Faculty

by Baerbel EckelmannFaculty StaffTotal number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research.Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, assistant professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers.Please exclude: research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, hospital residents and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university.^* The important distinction for us is that staff counted as ‘research only’ should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not conducting their own research and is therefore not likely to publish research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operational execution, such as a lab technician or equipment operator.International Faculty StaffNumber of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term ‘international’ is hereby determined by citizenship.For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state.In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China.Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff.In case of dual citizenship, the ‘deciding’ criteria should be ‘citizenship obtained through birth’, basically first passport obtained.
