Leadership Training for Postdoctoral Scholars and Graduate Students
Overview
This series of full-day intensive retreats are designed to help trainees thrive in a research environment, deal with conflicts, and be effective leaders and team members. The topics have all been developed with a focus on research groups and the academic environment. The training will provide strategies for effective integration into a Ph.D. program, the lab, and the department, as well as, offering a forum for trainees to share experiences with peers and build community.
Certification of Completion
A certificate of completion will be issued to participants 1-2 weeks after completion of the retreat.
Notice: Each retreat has a minimum and maximum number of participants. If the minimum isn’t reached the retreat might be canceled or postponed. Applying does not guarantee you’ll be invited to participate as space is limited.
These workshops are sponsored and hosted by UCLA Bioscience Graduate Programs & Postdoctoral Affairs.
Please note that we are still reorganizing our previous and new workshops into day-long retreats. If you don’t see a topic you were previously interested in, please check back in later.
