Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences / Temporary Chair
faculty of EXACT and natural sciences also seems to exist, but only in translations of south-american sites - the above is the nearest...
as for temporary chair, it should be ok, unless - as it has been also raised by CA - it is instead a temporary substitution

School would also fit (especially for students), but Professors usually work for/at Departments

Faculty of (Physical and Biological) Sciences
Como dice luskie, lo de "exact" es un calco, sólo se encontrará en textos torpamente traducidos. El término propio del inglés es "physical". Pero una facultad de ciencias de habla inglés que abarca tanto las ciencias exactas como las naturales, tiende a llamarse simplemente "science".
