About the role

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA, seeks a Technology Commercialization Associate (TCA) to join the Intellectual Property Office. You will help move Lab technologies from invention to licensing, focusing on energy or computer science domains. You will evaluate technologies, develop IP strategies, manage the licensing lifecycle, engage researchers, and collaborate with patent attorneys, marketing, and business development professionals in a hybrid work setting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
