- National Science Foundation funded Innovation Fellows
Washington University in Saint Louis, in conjunction with the University of Missouri, the Center for Emerging Technologies, and Innovate Saint Louis, is inviting applications for our National Science Foundation funded Innovation Fellows. We seek individuals with an advanced degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) in the engineering, life sciences, nanotechnology, biomedical or medical fields, who have an interest in expanding their understanding of technology transfer and commercialization. These fellowships are ideal for scientists and engineers who wish to immerse themselves in commercialization, industry partnerships, and entrepreneurship. The fellowships are full-time, one year in duration, and include a competitive stipend and benefits.
Fellows will benefit from an intensive training course on innovation and entrepreneurship, be assigned mentors, and work with the Offices of Technology Management and faculty at Washington University and at the University of Missouri, Columbia. Fellows will interface with researchers to:
-
- Identify promising ideas and opportunities
- Work with venture capital groups and other types investors
- Learn about the legal issues associated with patents, licensing, and new company formation
- Have access to a broad cross section of support from Missouri’s nationally recognized Life and Plant Science Coalition

Fellows spend 10 weeks with a senior Academies staff member who mentors the fellow to ensure that his/her time is focused on substantive projects and activities. Fellows also develop, design, and implement a seminar series during their tenure.
