Intern - Oxford University Innovation Licensing

Oxford University Innovation has created a new and exciting 6 month internship opportunity in its Licensing & Ventures Group specifically for Social Sciences and Humanities. Interns work alongside Licensing and Ventures Managers in the management of projects, assisting with other activities in the Licensing & Ventures Group and enabling the transfer of as much research as possible from the University of Oxford to external organisations in order to create a positive impact in the world.

In addition to gaining experience supporting specific commercialisation projects, interns will also receive training and mentoring to develop their commercial skills and build awareness and understanding of the key principles and requirements of this exciting industry.

Candidates are expected to have a keen interest in the creation of impact from Social Sciences and Humanities research. Impact spans a wide spectrum of outcomes from commercially driven spinouts to sustainable social enterprises and from big businesses to charities and government. The successful intern will work on a broad range of projects but will have the opportunity to work on projects that match their background where possible.

Successful applicants will demonstrate a passion for entrepreneurship and enterprise, and ideally possess some experience of related activities. Successful candidates will also need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and relationship management skills and very strong communication skills, both verbally and in writing.
