Every Principal Investigator wants to build and maintain a lab that attracts and retains outstanding staff members so that your science will be excellent. Juggling this endeavor with all else the PI must do – writing papers, teaching, mentoring, gaining and maintaining funding, creating collaborative and productive relationships with other PIs – can be challenging at best. This 1.5-day course will help you learn to manage people with a focus on the  particular needs of running a lab. This new course will be led by Melanie Erskine and Rachel Dresbeck, Ph.D., both from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
