||
|
As you have become more senior, do you seem to have even less time to get everything done? Are you getting too many requests to serve on committees and to be a good citizen and role model? Are you asked to take on supervisory responsibilities? Is it a matter of time management and finding the right balance or learning to say no? We will hear from three speakers who will present their experience and address management aspects arising for more senior researchers, including effective delegation, supervision, and negotiation.

CAPP-E: Managing Opportunities - Acoma North Session discusses different career paths - the research/teaching track, the administration track, transitioning to industry or government (and back again) - and how to plan accordingly. The advantages and disadvantages of the different paths, and at different universities, will be discussed. Deciding what to do when career opportunities arise and how to ensure the position is to your benefit will be discussed. Some opportunities come about because of planning and some happen spontaneously; included will be strategies for positioning yourself for potential opportunities and how to deal with opportunities that you might not have anticipated. The real barriers to taking advantage of career opportunities will also be discussed. Speakers Slides (PPT) CAPP-R: Managing Opportunities -Chaco West (lower level) This session will discuss opportunities that arise in research institutions and how to best take advantage of them. These opportunities include pursuing an administrative position, transitioning to industry or government (and back again), and relocating to a different institution. It will discuss advantages and disadvantages, how to pursue and prepare for a change in position, deciding what to do when career opportunities arise, and how to ensure the position is to ones benefit. The panelists will highlight opportunities not to miss as well as opportunities to consider with caution. Panelists will describe choices they have made and strategies for positioning oneself for potential opportunities and how to deal with opportunities that you might not have anticipated. Speakers CAPP-L: Entering Management and Thriving - Acoma South This panel will focus on how to think about deciding whether to enter management, what factors go into hiring managers, what such positions involve, whether there are training or mentoring programs available to prepare for such a transition, how to cope with becoming a manager, and how higher-level management positions differ from first-line management positions.

CAPP-E: Getting What You Need - Acoma North In some cases, associate professors need to have access to resources that are difficult for them to get, including a Ph.D., training courses, collaborations, equipment, time for research, funding, etc. This session will discuss possible strategies for obtaining the resources, including time. Speakers: Slides (PPT) CAPP-R: Sabbatical and Remote Collaborations - Chaco West (lower level) This session will address how to effectively plan and execute a sabbatical or leave and how to start and carry out successful remote collaborations. Different strategies for managing successful collaborations will be discussed. Overall focus will be on how these activities can and should promote your own career. Speakers: Slides (PDF) CAPP-L: Managing Opportunities - Acoma South Jobs in research labs offer a huge variety of opportunities with the concomitant challenge of managing them. This panel will discuss some of these opportunities and challenges, such as: switching into development organizations and back, transferring technology into practice, interacting with business units and funding agents, collaborating with researchers outside of one's home institution, leveraging internal and external service opportunities to build a network of contacts, and maintaining external visibility to increase job security/employability.

Workshop: Strong Women/Strategic Performance - Chaco West (lower level) Many accomplished professional women feel themselves to be less effective than they wish when leading or participating in discussions, meetings, or group negotiations. They struggle with feeling unheard, with reactive rather than strategic behaviors, with physical stress and tension, and with ineffective speaking voices. The keys to success in such arenas are both strategic and physical - how one presents oneself and one's ideas is key to their acceptance. This workshop, which combines theatre training and leadership development in an interactive format that encourages highly personal learning, is designed to enhance women's abilities and confidence in such situations. It will teach participants techniques used in theatre and leadership programs to improve performance and will coach participants in strategic management of discussions and negotiations. Speaker: Panel Session: Volunteerism - Acoma Ballroom This session will present opportunities for volunteer activities that can help to advance your career and broaden your professional network, both within your own university and within the profession. Also discussed will be strategies for gaining recognition for your accomplishments and for helping others to be recognized. Speakers: Slides (PPT) |

Speaker: Nancy Houfek, Harvard University Panel Session: Research Collaboration -Acoma Ballroom Great results often come about as a result of diverse perspectives and skills coming together. In this panel, we will talk about collaborations across types of institutions: between academics in research universities and teaching colleges and research labs. What are the benefits and costs of such collaborations? How do they get started? How are they fostered? What resources are available for summer/sabbatical collaborations? What IP issues are there?
