West Cambridge | £38,205 - £41,732 | Hybrid working
Do you want to play a role in commercialising the ideas of world-leading academics?
Why you will love this role:
The variety of the role is remarkable; working within the Technology Development and Licensing (TDL) team, you will guide academics as they move from frontier research towards application through the commercialisation of their ideas and inventions. You will help identify the value of a technology (through prior art searches and market analysis) and your contribution will help to further enhance its value. You will protect ideas through IP management and licencing, and will draft contracts, meet with academics and promote Cambridge Enterprise and industry collaborations.
You will find the breadth of scientific diversity and the range of project statuses stimulating and engaging. (We help take tech from fledgling idea through to patented and licensed technology).
What we're looking for:
Your background is in chemistry, engineering or physics, and you have a Ph.D. and/or research experience. You have an interest in entrepreneurship, managing and commercialising intellectual property, and a broad interest in science and technology. Perhaps you already have knowledge of the patenting process, licensing, or other aspects of technology transfer, and experience in a commercial environment.
You have excellent organisation skills and can handle and prioritise a number of projects simultaneously. You have highly developed communication skills and can put yourself in your customer’s shoes. You are able to work well within a team, and demonstrate high levels of initiative.
Diversity and equality matter:
These are our ideal requirements, but we know some people are less likely to apply for the role unless they are 100% qualified. At Cambridge Enterprise, we promote a diverse, inclusive and empowering culture, so please apply if you meet the majority of the job requirements.
If you have any questions about the interview process, or if you need any reasonable adjustments, please don’t hesitate to contact Ian, Gemma or Michelle at [email protected]
