Innovation Fellowship Programme
Cima is launching an
Innovation Fellowship Programme
as part of its strategy to retain scientific talent and accelerate the translation of biomedical research into innovative products and companies.

We are seeking a highly motivated
Post-doctoral Researcher in Technological Innovation
to join the Technology Transfer and Innovation Unit and work at the interface between
science, technology transfer and entrepreneurship
.

The fellow will participate in the identification, evaluation and development of technologies emerging from Cima research, with a particular focus on opportunities with potential for translation and company creation. A key part of the role will be to participate
from the earliest stages in the creation and development of Cima spin-offs and start-ups
, working closely with researchers, clinicians, investors, industry partners and the Technology Transfer and Innovation team.

The position is specifically designed as a
development pathway towards future entrepreneurial and leadership roles
.



The fellow will receive an individualized training plan, combining internal mentoring and hands-on experience at Cima with selected external training in entrepreneurship, business development, strategy, fundraising, intellectual property and biotech company building.

Over an expected period of approximately
two years
, the fellow will progressively assume greater responsibility in selected innovation projects and, depending on the project and the candidate’s experience, may contribute to the early management of a newly created start-up, including potentially acting as an
interim CEO during its initial development and financing phase
.

Following the development and financing of a company, the fellow may evolve into an executive role within that venture or into a leadership role in another Cima spin-off, depending on the needs of the company and the candidate’s development.
