4.26 University of Jyväskylä, Organic Chemistry
Overview
The Laboratory of Organic Chemistry is part of the UJ Department of Chemistry.
The unit is affiliated both with the Department and with the UJ Nanoscience Center
(NSC). During the evaluation period, the unit had an average of three professors,
about ten other senior researchers, including almost 20 individuals as international
postdoctoral research fellows for 1–2 years each. In addition, about 15 PhD students
(quite constant number of persons) have been active in the unit. On average, the total
number of active research staff amounts to 29 FTE. In addition, the unit has two
assistants, three technical staff and one research-active professor emeritus.
Financial support was with a near 1:1 proportion of core to external funding
(mainly the Academy of Finland, Tekes and industry contributing to a minor extent).
The unit participates in national graduate schools.
The unit engages in teaching at BSc and MSc levels, with students participating in
ongoing research throughout their BSc and MSc thesis work. The teaching load is
evenly distributed among the senior staff. In the evaluation period, examinations of
MScs were at 11–12 a year and PhDs at two a year. The unit has also recruited a
professor from another Finnish university and promoted a senior researcher (a former
Academy Research Fellow) to professor.
