Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is growing its team by adding two Senior Licensing Manager positions – so if you have been looking for an opportunity to advance your career in technology licensing/life sciences, there is no better place than Boston. Known as the “Life Science Corridor” Boston is home to the world’s largest cluster of life science and biotech companies – 730 organizations that work within the Life Sciences technology.
The new Senior Licensing Managers (there are two positions) for Dana- Farber Cancer Institute will work in separate spheres of life science clusters and continually collaborate with team members and external partners, developing relationships and mutually beneficial projects.
