People Management for PIs
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 Jennifer Crosby-Meurisse and Rachel Dresbeck, PhD, both from the Office of the Vice President for Research.
When: Friday, April 19, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, April 20, 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: Center for Health and Healing (CHH), Third Floor, Room Four
In this course you will learn:

• Steps to take when coaching doesn’t work – Performance management in the lab
• Resources that are available to you to support you and your lab staff
