We are looking for an individual with experience of identifying, evaluating and exploiting Intellectual Property and other research outcomes within Higher Education or the Public Sector.

This role would suit an excellent communicator who can identify and either advise on or develop and then implement projects to evaluate and realise commercialisation and other impact creating opportunities.

We are looking to appoint an individual with a track record of enabling research commercialisation pathways, experience of managing multiple market appraisal and/or licensee search projects and a familiarity with processes involved in raising investment in spin out companies. The role holder will lead a team to explore commercialisation as a route to impact within multiple disciplines across the University including Science and Technology, Health, Arts and Social Sciences and Leadership and Management.

Established external networks and knowledge of government policy and funding relating to University Research Commercialisation would be desirable.

The role sits within Research and Enterprise Services (RES). Candidates should contact Jess Wenmouth, Head of Research Commercialisation ( j.wenmouth@lancaster.ac.uk ), for any questions or informal discussions regarding the role.
