SAC Research

Management Structure

The majority of research staff at SAC are organised into the R&D Division, one of SAC's three Divisions, led by the Head of R&D, who is also a member of the Executive Management Team (EMT). 

The R&D Division is sub-divided into four main Research Groups:

• Land Economy and Environment
• Animal Health
• Crop and Soil
• Sustainable Livestock Systems 

Each Group is headed up by a Group Manager.  Groups are further sub divided into a variable number of Research Teams each headed by a Team Leader. 

In addition, Project Management, Quality Assurance and Research Administration is concentrated in a Projects Office, headed up by the Research Manager.

The Head of R&D, together with the four Group Managers and the Research Manager, comprise the Divisional Management Team (DMT), who define the strategic direction of SAC's research and manage the Research Division.
