 ====== Current Group Structures and Members =====
-Usually, as a **university professor** you work with a group of postdocs, PhD students and master students. I have done this many years at the University of Göttingen and since 2006 as lecturer/reader/professor at the University of Reading in the UK. I am continuing this activity with a portion of my time. Currently this involves (co-)supervision of seven PhD students (Anne, Babatunde, Mareike, Vanessa, Lukas, Nora, Eman) and two master students (Pia amd Gesa).
+**Deutscher Wetterdienst** is a federal institution with a strong business area of research. The department for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) has about 115-120 scientists in house in four divisions (55-60 permanent). There are 7 leading scientists directly reporting to the NWP department head and/or head of research, including the four division heads. All other scientists report to the four division heads in my department:
-At a research institute, when you **lead a divison** or **group**, you have usually several permanent scientists in your group (gifted and talented), plus some scientists on third-party funded research projects. These might be postdocs or research scientists.
-**Deutscher Wetterdienst** is a federal institution with a strong business area of research. I have been leading the data assimilation division of DWD 2010-2021, with about 35-37 scientists in my group in 2020 (18 of them permanent). We now restructured into two divisions related to data assimilation, one on algorithms for initialization together with ensemble control (FE11), the other on observations modeling and verification (FE12).
-I became **head of the NWP department** in 10/2020. NWP has about 90 scientists in house in four divisions (49 permanent).
