Internships
The Office for Technology Development (OTD) offers unpaid internship opportunities each academic semester. These project-based experiences help UT Southwestern students and trainees explore learning opportunities outside the lab or clinical environment. OTD internships are part-time positions limited to four to six hours per week. Experienced OTD staff members provide interns with specialized training in areas relevant to the assigned project. No previous knowledge in these fields is required, but a strong life sciences background is preferred.
Examples of Intern Projects
- Targeted marketing of selected technologies
- Evaluation of technology for patentability and commercialization
- Analysis of patterns and demographics of licensee recruitment
- Industry market research surveys
- Developing marketing materials
