All of the , plus you can expect me to:

  • Maintain a vision of where the lab is going

  • Apply for and secure the funding necessary to keep the lab going

  • Meet with you regularly to discuss your research projects. The definition of "regularly" may change over time or over the course of a project, but for now, I mean once a week or more often as needed.

  • Work with you to develop a mentoring and research plan tailored to your interests, needs, and career goals.

  • Give you my perspective on academia and issues related to professional development

  • Support your career development by introducing you to other researchers in the field, writing recommendation letters for you, providing you with opportunities to attend conferences when possible, and promoting your work in talks

  • Care about you as a person and not just a scientist. I am happy to discuss with you any concerns or life circumstances that may be influencing your work, but it is entirely up to you whether and what you want to share.

  • If you need extra support related to time management and productivity, I will brainstorm solutions with you and share what has worked for me and for others.
