The Faculty of Science is a constituent body of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. It is UNSW's second largest Faculty (after Engineering). It has over 400 academic staff and over 700 research staff and students. The Faculty consists of nine Schools: *(School of Aviation ) *(School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences ) *(School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences ) *(School of Chemistry ) *(School of Materials Science and Engineering ) *(School of Mathematics and Statistics ) *(School of Optometry and Vision Science ) *(School of Physics ) *(School of Psychology ) Its other resources include primary partnership in the UNSW Analytical Centre (see below), field research stations at Cowan, Smiths Lake, Wellington and Fowlers Gap, and it is a partner in the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, located on Sydney Harbour at Chowder Bay. The Faculty is the primary administrative base for the Institute of Environmental Studies and a number of research centres, including: the Climate Change Research Centre; Evolution and Ecology Research Centre; Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation; Centre for Materials Research in Energy Conversion; the Clive and Vera Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis; Injury Risk Management Research Centre (IRMRC); and the Centre for Groundwater Research (jointly with Faculty of Engineering). It is also associated with national Co-operative Research Centres (CRCs)in Environmental Biotechnology; Vision; Spatial Information Systems and Bushfire. It is also part of Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Modelling of Complex Systems; Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT); Design in Light Metals; and Functional Nanomaterials. As well, it is part of the National Cooperative Research Infrastructure Scheme and the National Health and Medical Research Council's program in Post-traumatic Mental Health.〔Anon (2008).

The present Faculty structure represents the outcome of two major and several minor UNSW restructures since 1997, with the primary aim of operational simplification and administrative efficiency. Before 1997 science teaching and research at UNSW was spread across three Faculties: Science; Biological & Behavioural Science;〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/A32-FBioSci.pdf〕 and Applied Science.〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/A31-AppliedSci.pdf〕 In 1997 the three Science faculties were disestablished and two new faculties were created - a Faculty of Science and Technology 〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/A142-SciTech.pdf〕 and a Faculty of Life Sciences.〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/A147-LifeSc.pdf〕 In 2001, a second major restructure amalgamated most of the science schools resident in these two Faculties into a single new Faculty of Science.〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/A244-Science2.pdf〕〔Anon (2008). "UNSW Faculty of Science Research", 68pp. ISBN unknown.〕 A 2009 review of research in the Faculty resulted in the closure of the School of Risk & Safety Sciences in 2010.〔http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au/documents/SafetyScience-A385.pdf〕〔( UNSW Risk & Safety Sciences web site )〕 Within the School of Physics, the (Centre for Quantum Computer Technology ) has three major research laboratories at the University of New South Wales: the Atomic Fabrication Facility (AFF), the National Magnet Laboratory (NML) and the Semiconductor Nanofabrication Facility (SNF). These all allow for nanoscale device fabrication and measurement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UNSW Faculty of Science」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
