This workshop is designed to provide assistant professors with helpful information about successfully managing an effective research group, whether large or small. New principal investigators are usually surprised by the many different demands that go into leading a research group: juggling managing a project, their time, a laboratory, administrative tasks, and lab personnel, including graduate and undergraduate students as well as paid staff. In this workshop we will explore ways to lead your research group that support the outstanding teaching and research you want and need to do, without requiring your attention 24/7. Several faculty will share their experiences and best practices in this workshop.

Open to all assistant professors campus-wide. Please register at https://advance.umich.edu/event/the-art-of-leading-a-research-group/.
