The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) at North Carolina State University is seeking a graduate student for a part-time internship in our office. We are looking for a highly motivated individual eager to gain real-world experience in technology transfer by helping move discoveries made in university labs into commercial products. During the course of the internship, the intern will be involved in various aspects of commercializing an invention including technology evaluation (for patentability and commercial potential); market research; development and execution of marketing strategies; and identification of potential partners. The intern is also expected to be exposed to intellectual property protection, licensing, general business development, and will have opportunities to interact with companies of all sizes.

Students with a technical background in engineering, who can commit a minimum of 10 hrs/week, would be particularly well-suited to this position. Interested individuals should send their resume, cover letter and technical writing sample to anu_ahuja [at] ncsu [dot] edu. It is preferred that the writing sample is akin to executive summary of a technology.
