Goals and Objectives

The goals and objectives of the Scientific Management Series are to provide participants with laboratory or research management skills that will help them to launch productive independent careers in academic and other settings. This series by no means is comprehensive but addresses some of the most difficult aspects of directing and managing in a scientific role and running a lab, especially issues that new faculty have traditionally learned by trial and (sometimes painful) error. Our intent is to kick-start that learning process and provide some approaches that have worked for individuals. The course is intended to complement the HHMI/BWF book, Making the Right Moves – A Practical Guide to Scientific Management for Postdocs and New Faculty. Copies of this excellent guide will be handed out at the beginning of each lecture.

Lecture and Registration Information

Lectures are one hour with discussion to follow and are delivered on Thursdays from 10:00 -11:30 AM. Complete course materials will be available at the beginning of each lecture, if applicable.

Individual registration is not required, but recommended for each lecture.
