Yet, these skills are seldom discussed as part of an academic education, and often do not show up in professional trainings for scientists. This workshop is designed to give you hands on techniques to grow your skills in leadership, management and negotiation. Topics that will be emphasized include: effective communication with your scientific team (peers, colleagues, employees, students, bosses, administrators, etc), team building in a way that promotes motivation and trust, guidance in giving and receiving both positive and negative feedback, and negotiating your time, salary and delegation. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Eligibility:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Approximately 30 participants will be selected to participate in this professional development workshop via an application process. Applicants should identify as an early career scientist (e.g., advanced graduate student, postdoctoral scholar, assistant professor, research scientist or similar career stage). Preference will be given to individuals with demonstrated leadership potential. Underrepresented groups in science are strongly encouraged to apply, and we aim to have a diverse group in terms of personal diversity (race, ethnicity), stage of career, disciplinary training and career goals. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Local costs of the workshop will be covered, including transportation from the airport, local lodging and most meals.
