Opportunity to do Tech Licensing at Columbia

I get lots of emails from people wanting to break into the venture business. While I have no good answer -- it's a nutty business, with no real recruiting program per se -- one way to try your hand at technology commercialization is via being a technology licensing officer at a major university.

With that in mind, Columbia University, one of the best-performing technology commercialization groups in higher education, is searching for a tech licensing officer. Might be a good opportunity for one of my readers, or for someone you know:

Technology Licensing Officer at Columbia University - Science and Technology Ventures (STV)

Location: New York, NY

Join a profession that Fast Company cited as one of the best career opportunities of the next 25 years. Be a catalyst - act as the interface between innovative research and the commercial world.

Become a part of the most financially successful university-based technology group on the planet.

Technical undergraduate studies in computer science, EE,or other engineering field. Advanced degree preferred in law, business or engineering.

You must be comfortable in taking poorly defined complex problems, often under uncertain conditions, structuring and solving them.

A successful technical, marketing, business development or legal career over 10 to 15 years is a must.
