POSITION Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Duke I&E) invites applications for a part-time Lecturing Fellow position (non-regular rank) to teach The Business of Science: Research and Technology Translation course as part of the Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Duke I&E) certificate program.

Covered topics also include intellectual property, regulatory considerations, financing structures, factors in licensing/startup decisions, and assessing market needs and competitive landscape. REQUIREMENTS Candidate must have practical experience in research and technology translation with a preference for those with a complementary advanced degree, e.g. MBA. Candidate must have a demonstrated track record of excellent classroom instruction skills in innovation, entrepreneurship and translation. Additionally, an enthusiasm for working in a highly entrepreneurial setting and a desire to contribute to advancing the Duke I&E mission are desired.
