Working Towards Managing Your First Research Group

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.

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 Research Fellows and senior Postdocs.
