UTRF Commercialization Analyst Internship, Multi-Campus Office (Knoxville)

Explore Rewarding Careers Away from the Lab

The UTRF commercialization analyst internship program is a hands-on opportunity to explore new innovations being developed at UT and to understand the transition from research to a commercial product. Our interns work closely with UTRF’s licensing staff to provide support for innovation assessments while obtaining valuable experience in preparation for careers that merge science with business development, entrepreneurship, and law.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents.

2022 Intern Testimonials

“UTRF has provided me the opportunity to dive into the forefront of technology and scientific innovation at the University of Tennessee. I have been able to develop valuable legal and professional experience while being introduced to IP and commercialization concepts. This is a fantastic program that opens many doors.”

Myles Roth | J.D. Candidate, College of Law, UT Knoxville

“Working at UTRF has been an enriching experience. I have been able to directly help innovators patent their inventions and get them to market while learning about the relationship between science and business.”

Maddie Rudge | J.D. Candidate, College of Law, UT Knoxville

“Working with UTRF has shown me the bigger picture when it comes to research. I’ve learned valuable lessons about the role that intellectual property plays in fostering innovation, and I hope to use this knowledge wisely moving forward in my career.”

Will Hunter | Graduate student, Computer Science & Electrical Engineering, Tickle College of Engineering, UT Knoxville
