MCR Research Leadership Program
Intensive workshop series for mid-career researchers
The mid-career phase of a research career is a time of change and growth, and one that can present new challenges as you transition from project to program leadership and expand your teams and collaborations. This program will equip you with practical skills to strategically plan your growing research program, efficiently and effectively manage research at scale, and build relationships and lead others.
The program is targeted at mid-career researchers who have recently transitioned into an increased level of independence and research leadership. This could include leading their own team, funding and/or research programs at a larger scale in size, scope and/or reach. Although MCR is self-identified as part of this program, it tends to be Levels C & D.
The program consists of 3 interactive full-day in person workshops and is followed by further optional opportunities.
