Committees

The Advanced Microscopy Facility is overseen by two committees:

  • User oversight committee
  • Management committee

The user oversight committee represents the user community. It reviews the operations of the laboratory and discusses how to use the lab for scientific and engineering purposes. The committee director is our academic director Dr. Rodney Herring, and the members are representatives of physical sciences, biological sciences, and engineering. The director of the user oversight committee will report to the Associate VP Research Dr. Rachael Scarth who in turn reports to the University of Victoria's VP Research Dr. David Castle, who in turn reports to the University of Victoria's president, Dr. Jamie Cassel.

The management committee is responsible for financial management and construction of the laboratory. It draws members from departments throughout the university.

The director and the manager of the AMF lab are also default members of the CAMTEC committees.
