** Registration deadline: June 7 ** ** Send your research interest paragraph to jpicontact@iscb.org ** Date of the meeting: 20 July 2013 http://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2013-program/ismbeccb2013-jpi/about-jpi Transitioning from Post-doc to (junior) PI is a major step in the scientific career ladder bringing new challenges to the scientist. Key among these challenges is moving from a single project-based responsibility to being responsible for the projects of students, technicians, and postdocs. On top of this, the researcher is expected to be a successful grant writer, a human resources manager, an engaging speaker, etc. In this meeting we aim to bring together scientists who have recently started or wish to start their own research group. This meeting will serve as a platform for building a community of junior PIs within the broader field of Computational Biology. To participate you have to submit a short summary of your scientific research interests which will be distributed before the event to all participants to facilitate the interactions.
