UB Business and Entrepreneur Partnerships (BEP) is seeking a Senior Licensing Manager - Physical Sciences to help change the world by bringing innovative new technologies to market, and to foster economic growth in the Western New York Community. You will work with diverse faculty who are conducting leading edge research to identify innovations that solve real-world problems. In this role, you will be part of the Technology Transfer team and will work with Startup Ventures and other BEP staff to develop license and startup opportunities to execute commercialization plans for your portfolio technologies.

Key responsibilities of the position include:
  • Identify Promising UB Innovations. Meet with faculty in assigned departments to increase awareness of the Technology Transfer office and participation in the process; identify new technologies with commercial potential and facilitate disclosures; complete intellectual property and market opportunity assessments; and, when supported, make recommendations to protect the intellectual property and pursue commercialization opportunities.
  • Technology Marketing. Market technology licensing opportunities to prospective licensees directly and through web and third-party channels. This activity will have you communicating with diverse corporate business and product development specialists from all over the world.
