As a new or aspiring Principal Investigator, you are stepping into a new phase of your career. Turning your attention from managing research to managing and supporting people can catch some new PIs off guard as it requires a very different skillset. This one-day course covers areas that new academic leaders are often most concerned about: Managing time and building and developing a team.
You will explore these areas by working through a series of real-life examples to learn about the crucial factors that may determine your success as a PI and help you become an effective, inclusive, and supportive leader.
This course is aimed at Senior Postdocs and Research Fellows
