Our most innovative research is driven by creativity and excitement, but in crossing from the known to the unknown, we frequently get stuck. In this workshop, we will explore how to design for deep work, how to manage and increase our energy and motivation, and how to organize workdays and develop strategies to get unstuck. Working alone and in pairs, we will use prototyping to help us test ideas early, seek out feedback on unfinished work, and enhance our progress.

Every academic institution is structured differently. What do you need to know as a new faculty member to negotiate and work effectively with the leadership at your new institution? Guest Speakers: Dr. Jim Plummer, Professor, Electrical Engineering and (by courtesy) Materials Science & Engineering and Dr. Thomas Ehrlich, Adjunct Professor, Graduate School of Education
There are several times during your postdoc when you are not yet ready to explicitly apply for an academic position but when you can still make yourself know to potential colleges and universities without explicitly. This is known as the "dark search phase" of your exploration, and we will discuss how to manage it in the most effective and efficient way.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Sofie Kleppner, Associate Dean, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and Dr. Tanya Evan, Assistant Professor, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia

How do you manage your relationship with your PIs/advisors while working remotely or under the current COVID-19 climate?
Navigating the power differential between graduate students/postdocs and their supervisors is always challenging, but even more so in this fraught time, when faculty are also incredibly stressed. What are some of the immediate issues that need to be addressed and what are the resources available on campus that can help you in this unique situation?
