The Principal Investigator (PI) Crash Course is a two-day intensive boot camp of seminars, discussions, and hands-on activity sessions to provide exposure to fundamental leadership and management skills and tools needed for success in your lab.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- Negotiation skills for a new position/promotion/collaboration/publication
- Staffing skills for job posts/candidate screening/interviews/hiring
- Leadership and mentoring skills in the Lab
- People management: day-to-day/conflict resolution/misconduct/promotions/layoffs
- Time management: balancing research, teaching, service/when & how to say No
- Project management: planning/tracking progress/meeting deadlines/introduction to management software
- Network creation and maintenance: mentors/collaborators/supporters
- Real-life lab leader success stories and best tips from early-stage and experienced investigators
Senior post-doctoral students and associate research scientists about to start their independent position search are particularly welcome to attend, and we strongly encourage new and recent PIs to participate as it is never too late to get an overview of the survival skills that you will need throughout your career.
