Synopsis

This is a workshop which will equip International Postdoctoral Fellows with basic skills required to successfully transition from the postdoctoral research stage to becoming a faculty member. The latter career stage demands management capabilities that do not necessarily comprise an excellent researcher – a crucial quality needed to obtain a faculty position. As such the workshop will deal with a central pillar of leading a successful lab or research group: recruiting a winning team. We will discuss the different stages of successfully recruiting researchers, focus on interviewing skills, and the “do’s and don’ts” of a structured interview.

Outcomes

• Master all stages of a recruiting cycle
• Improve your interviewing skills
• Familiarize yourself with a comprehensive pool of questions you can ask in an interview (and the references)
• Develop best practices for overcoming cognitive biases that affect our decision making

Session Dates
