Hiring Personnel and Building Teams
Wednesday, November 4, 2026
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Central Time
Launching an independent laboratory comes with many challenges, and one of the most important is building a strong and effective team. Hosted by the Junior Faculty Network (JFN), this webinar explores strategies for recruiting and hiring laboratory personnel, including best practices for advertising positions, identifying qualified candidates, and conducting successful searches. Attendees will also gain insights into setting clear expectations, establishing goals for new hires, and fostering a productive and collaborative lab environment from the outset. Designed especially for senior postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty members, we invite all members to join us for this webinar as it provides practical guidance for developing the personnel foundation needed for a successful research program.
