A little bit about me

You are already a success

Make good use of your time Poor use of time is the biggest impediment to tenure and to successful research

The great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in five words; “I did not have time”. Franklin Field

The great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in five words; “I did not have make time”.

In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is lacking. Sir John Lubbock

You need to know the rules if you are going to win the game Communicate with your chair and the senior members of your department Find mentors and role models Pay attention to your annual and 3 rd year reviews Make sure your job description accurately reflects your job and your use of time

What is expected of you in terms of grant funding and publications? Do you need to demonstrate independence from you graduate / postdoc mentors? How is collaborative research credited in your unit? You need to know the rules…

Make time to read and think…

“The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.” Linus Pauling

Find a good niche…

“The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions.” ― Claude Lévi-Strauss

Publish! …soon and often… Publish! …soon and often…

“Surely you were aware when you accepted the position, Professor, that it was publish or perish.” originally from the New Yorker

Don’t wait for perfect to publish – learn to recognize good enough. Plan ahead to achieve good enough. Build on good enough in your next publication.

…how to succeed at research and have a little fun along the way

Create synergistic collaborations You make your own research community Create synergistic collaborations You make your own research community

Not so big you get lost in the crowd, Not so small that there is no one to interact with. It’s just right. A place where you can make things happen.

One of our best kept secrets Sarah Koerber Proposal Development Specialist

Take care of the people who take care of you

Learn the rules and take responsibility: compliance budgets personnel

If it only takes a minute (and you need to do it eventually) just do it now

Keep track of what you accomplish

Keep running lists: grants submitted / funded projected and actual expenditures publications (funding cited, student authors) people

Celebrate what you accomplish

Find a balance between high risk and bread-and-butter research

Develop a line of research that doesn’t cost much

Don’t spread yourself too thin

Know when to say yes and how to say no
