General description
Newly appointed principal research investigators have to recruit, motivate, and lead a research team, manage personnel and institutional responsibilities, and compete for funding, while maintaining the outstanding scientific record that got them their position. No wonder that many principal investigators feel ill-prepared. In this book, a successor to her best-selling manual, “At The Bench”, Kathy Barker provides a guide for leaders of research teams, and those who aspire to that role. With extensive use of interviews and a text enlivened with quotes and real-life examples, she discusses a wide range of management challenges and skills that promote success.
