Is your goal to lead your own lab?
If you're a PhD student or postdoc with ambitions of becoming a Principal Investigator, knowing how to prepare can be just as important as the goal itself.
In the second session of our Postdoc to PI series in partnership with the British Neuroscience Association, Dr Sam Booker (University of Edinburgh) shares practical insights on building the foundation for an independent academic career. This session focuses on preparation - developing the mindset, skills, and strategies that will set you up for success when the time comes to apply for independent roles.
