LifeArc is an independent medical research charity with over 25 years' experience in helping scientists and organisations turn their research into effective diagnostics and treatments.

At LifeArc, we want to hear from people who are as passionate as we are about making life science life changing that can improve patients' lives.

A bit about the role:

In support of this mission, LifeArc has launched a Technology Transfer Fellowship programme in partnership with Imperial Enterprise Division, Queen Mary Innovation and UCL Business.

This initiative now in its fifth year aims to provide the first steps for talented scientists to transition into the field of technology transfer.

There will be four Fellows appointed who will each be given extensive training and experience in relation to identification of intellectual property (IP) with commercial potential, procuring IP protections, marketing and commercialisation processes including the eventual partnering of successful projects with the pharma industry via licensing or spin-out creation.

Each of the four participating organisations will host the Fellows, on a three-month rotational basis.

Fellows will receive training on distinct topics during each rotation and benefit from being exposed to a variety of projects, expertise and organisational practises along the way.
