The mission for the Mucosal Immunobiology and Vaccine Center (MIVAC) at Göteborg University is a leading international center for research, training and development in mucosal immunobiology and vaccines.

MIVAC is staffed with pioneering and internationally renowned researchers in mucosal immunology, vaccinology, microbiology, cell imaging, mucus protein chemistry and molecular biology.

Using this expertise as a platform to advance preclinical research to clinical testing and commercial exploitation, we now wish to develop a complementary organization for the commercial exploitation of MIVAC innovations. To achieve this goal, we are seeking a skilled and experienced person to join us as project leader for the commercialization processes.

In close collaboration with the Director of MIVAC, you will develop and manage the processes and internal organizational structures needed to secure ideas and innovations in MIVAC and to work towards their commercial exploitation. You will establish links between MIVAC, public organizations and industrial partners and will take a pro-active role in forming a commercial basis for our Center of Excellence. You must have a strong academic background with extensive industrial experience of life science R&D, preferably as a senior project leader. You should have a track record of bringing IP-protected innovations to the market. Ideally, you have experience from working in the vaccinology or immunology fields.

We are looking for someone with the following personal qualities:
• The ability to lead processes in a complex and knowledge-intensive academic
and business-oriented milieu
• A structured, focused and highly interactive personality
• Well-developed communication skills and experience in addressing academic
and indstrial environments
