CLARITY looking for a Commercial Development Manager (CDM)
Recently, Enterprise Ireland sponsored a Commercial Development Manager position at a number of the SFI-funded Centres. CLARITY, one of the centres in my portfolio, has just advertised for their CDM.
To quote the job listing:
CLARITY: The CLARITY CSET is a partnership between University College Dublin, Dublin City University and Tyndall National Institute. The centre brings together a range of leading Principle Investigators (PI) across a diverse range of disciplines including, computer science and engineering, materials science, as well as sports and performance science. The centre is focused on creating the technologies and applications that will create the new world of the sensor web. This world will harness the power of abundant, reliable, and cheap sensor networks in order to bridge the physical-digital divide and in so doing will focus on a wide range of applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, personal health, and social media.
The remit of the Commercial Developmental Manager will be to define and market the portfolio of CLARITY, guiding late stage commercial projects to maturity and identify early stage projects that have commercial viability as well developing and building partnerships with industrial partners. The CDM will be expected to spend their time working with researchers across all CLARITY sites and therefore the position will involve travel between the three sites.
CLARITY have a huge range of activity in their centre, from materials science, through micro-electronics and sensor networks onto software and web systems. If that sounds interesting to you, check it out.
