“Working with the Global Commercialization Group on technologies from three different countries has given me a truly unique opportunity to be exposed to some of the great innovation taking place around the world.”

The Application Process
Our application process has been designed to give the various program managers an opportunity to get to know you and your work. We ask that you fill out a form with information about yourself and that you complete a technology assessment exercise for us. We expect that reading and completing the exercise will take less than an hour and should not involve research on your part. Once you email GCG a CV and completed form, you will be contacted about a date to complete the exercise.
Are you interested in joining our network of technology commercialization researchers?
As a technology assessment researcher and author of a technology assessment report, you will have a first hand opportunity to see some of the exciting innovations coming from our programs throughout the world. Many of the technologies are actively seeking business opportunities in the U.S. GCG employs a variety of professionals on a contract basis to contribute to technology assessment research.
What does a technology commercialization assessment report entail?
For an experienced technology assessor trained in GCG’s methodology, we anticipate that writing a report entails 40-60 hours of work over 2 to 3 weeks. To write the report, we expect that you will conduct phone interviews and internet research.
We are seeking highly qualified individuals to work on various projects.
If we determine that you are qualified to conduct technology assessment research for GCG, your information and preferences will be recorded and stored for program managers to access. Your application does not obligate you to work with us. Program managers may contact you for contract work according to their projects needs, and you will always have the opportunity to decline an assignment if offered.
If interested, please email your CV and a completed application form to QL@ic2.utexas.edu.
