Staffing your lab with the right people is one of the most important things you can do to manage a successful research program. This session at 9 a.m. May 14 focuses on making the best hiring decisions, beginning with tips on how to attract postdocs and techs to your lab, which can be challenging if you are an early stage investigator. This session will provide advice on how to interview and evaluate applicants. The session will conclude with advice for handling staffing situations that aren’t working, including how to handle terminating an employee’s contract, which is always difficult — and hopefully can be avoided by identifying and recruiting the best employees at the outset.
