The Art of Leading a Research Group

LSA-ADVANCE Workshops for Faculty 2023-24

This workshop is open to all U-M Faculty

This workshop is designed to provide assistant professors with helpful information about successfully managing an effective research group. New principal investigators are usually surprised by the demands of managing a project, their time, a laboratory, administrative tasks, and lab personnel. However, it is possible to design a research group that supports the outstanding teaching and research you want and need to do, without requiring your attention 24/7. Several faculty will share their best practices in this workshop.

Panelists: 

Jayakrishnan Nandakumar, Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and Associate Director Academic Program, Chemical Biology Program, Life Sciences Institute

Krista Wigginton,Associate Chair, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Jesse Capecelatro, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering

Alison Davis Rabosky, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Assistant Curator, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
