Personnel/staffing situation

Prof. Zhou Chaochen retired on 30 September and returned to Beijing, where he continues to work with the Chinese Academy of Science. The new Director, Prof. Armando Haeberer, joined UNU/IIST on 1 November 2002. Chris George was Acting Director in the interim period. Tragically, Armando was to suffer a heart attack and pass away on 11 February 2003.

Dr. Tomasz Janowski resigned from UNU/IIST on 27 September, and returned to Poland. We will start recruitment for a replacement during 2003.

Dr. Bernhard K. Aichernig from Graz University of Technology, Austria, arrived at UNU/IIST on 1 March under a 2-year appointment as a research staff. Dr. Zhiming Liu from Leicester University, United Kingdom, arrived at UNU/IIST on 3 July as a research staff under a 2-year Personal Service Agreement.

The Administrative and Programme Services Officer position has been filled temporarily by Wendy Hoi since July 2001. The post has been advertised, and candidates short-listed, but the recruitment process has been postponed until a new Director is appointed.

Mr. Tian Siyuan, Computer Systems Assistant, left UNU/IIST in February, and we recruited Ms Kitty Chan Iok Sam to fill the vacancy on 13 May.

Ms Anna Chiu, Administrative Assistant, left UNU/IIST at the end of May, and we recruited Ms Sandy Lee Yuen Kwan to be the replacement in July.
