ING Annual Report 1997

Staff Organisation
The year 1997 saw considerable turnover in the staffing at ING. Perhaps the most notable event in this respect was the departure of Dr Steve Unger who had come to La Palma in 1992, initially as Head of Astronomy, before being appointed as ING's Director. Following Dr Unger's departure on 1 November 1997, Dr R G M Rutten took over initially as Acting Director before his appointment was made substantive. As stated in the previous ING Annual Report, the post of Head of Engineering had been vacant since an unsuccessful exercise to fill it in 1994. However, during 1997 it was decided to re-run this exercise, which this time bore fruit, although the successful candidate would not take up the post until the beginning of 1998.
For 1997, the telescope manager of the WHT was Dr C R Benn and of the INT, Dr N A Walton. Mr P J Rudd, who had been telescope manager of the JKT for several years left ING during August 1997 and was succeeded by Dr J H Telting.
The total UK approved annual staff effort for La Palma operations for financial year 1997/98 was 36.6. This comprised 29.6 staff on-island and 7 staff at the RGO in Cambridge. Actual effort on-island was 1 staff year short of this target and was compensated for by a cash payment. The total approved staff effort for the Netherlands was 7.4 on-island and 1 in Cambridge.
Astronomical support for the ING provided by the RGO is the responsibility of the La Palma Support Group of the RGO's Astronomy Division. The Support Group, headed by Dr W Martin, supplements the work of the ING Astronomy Group.
