Uppsala universitet är ett brett forskningsuniversitet med stark internationell ställning. Uppgiften är att bedriva forskning och utbildning av högsta kvalitet och att på olika sätt samverka med samhället. Vår viktigaste tillgång är alla de individer som med sin nyfikenhet och sitt engagemang gör Uppsala universitet till en av landets mest spännande arbetsplatser. Uppsala universitet har 42.000 studenter, 7.000 anställda och en omsättning på 6,7 miljarder kronor.




UU Innovations uppdrag handlar om att stödja omvandlingen av forskningsresultat till nya tjänster, produkter, processer eller modeller, oavsett om det sker genom nya forskningsbaserade företag eller genom forskningssamarbeten med redan befintliga organisationer.

Vår kompetens inom UU Innovation består i att förstå såväl forskningens förutsättningar som förutsättningar för innovationer och forskningssamverkan. Vi är också en viktig ingång för företag och andra organisationer utanför universitet som söker specifik akademisk kompetens och samarbeten.

Arbetsuppgifter:
I tjänsten som sökspecialist ingår att utföra nyhetsgranskningar inom fr a biomedicinska och tekniska områden, definiera en sökstrategi, utföra fullständiga sökningar i lämpliga databaser och därefter strukturera, analysera och utvärdera funna dokument (patent, vetenskapliga artiklar mm). Resultatet ligger sedan till grund för den patenterbarhetsanalys av idén som patentrådgivare gör. Arbetet innebär att i samarbete med idégivande forskare, patent- och affärsrådgivare analysera uppfinningar/forskningsresultat och idéer, vars resultat kommer att ligga till grund för affärsmässiga råd kring patent- och IP-strategier. Då sökspecialisten tillsammans med affärs- eller patentrådgivare verkar i en första infångande roll kring vad idén handlar om är det viktigt att snabbt få en bild över hur att gå vidare med den föreslagna uppfinningen. Tjänsten ställer således stora krav på att snabbt förstå och att kunna analysera det nya och innovativa i de idéer som UUI utvärderar. Tillsammans med traditionella informationsverktyg, används vid detta arbete fr a patentdatabaser och specialiserade databaser inom vetenskap, teknik och medicin. Användningen av dessa databaser kräver en mångårig erfarenhet för ett optimalt resultat. Vidare innebär tjänsten att ha en övergripande helhetsbild av alla de drygt 100 idéer och uppfinningar som UUI årligen utvärderar. Att utbilda inom immaterialrätt och att hålla i seminarier är viktiga delar av arbetet då innovationskontoret arbetar proaktivt med IP-frågor i universitetets forskarvärld och i strategiska projekt.


Kvalifikationskrav:
Du ska ha en akademisk utbildning inom för tjänsten relevant område i kombination med mångårig erfarenhet som sökspecialist inom industrin, patentverk eller på en patentbyrå. Du ska själv ha ansvarat för nyhetsgranskningar och utfört komplicerade sökningar i relevanta databaser, samt analyserat och sammanställt resultatet. Du ska även vara uppdaterad kring nya sökverktyg. Du ska självklart ha goda kunskaper i svenska och engelska och vara van att hålla muntliga presentationer. Som person är det viktigt att du har förmågan att skapa goda relationer och drivs av att skapa värde för våra kunder och samarbetspartners. Du ska samtidigt bidra till gruppens arbete kring universitetets verksamhet och mål. Du trivs med att arbeta både självständigt och tillsammans med andra. Du är en person som både värnar dina egna specialistkunskaper och är nyfiken på andras samt har en klart analytisk förmåga. Vi lägger stor vikt vid den personliga lämpligheten och personliga egenskaper som initiativtagande, samarbetsförmåga och flexibilitet.

Önskvärt/meriterande i övrigt:
Det är meriterande om du själv är disputerad och hemmastadd i forskarmiljöer. Vi ser även gärna att du har erfarenhet av strategiskt IP-arbete samt har erfarenhet av att hålla i utbildningsmoment. Det är även meriterande om du har god kunskap vad det gäller patentlegala aspekter liksom kriterier för patenterbarhet. Då du kommer att möta idébärare inför sökning samt efter utfört uppdrag är det viktigt att du har förmåga att lyssna in behovet och förmedla resultat på ett pedagogiskt vis.

Uppsala universitet värdesätter de kvaliteter som jämn könsfördelning och mångfald tillför verksamheten. Vi ser därför gärna sökande av alla kön och med olika födelsebakgrund, funktionalitet och livserfarenhet.

Lön: Individuell lönesättning tillämpas.

Tillträde: 2019-08-12 eller efter överenskommelse.

Anställningsform: Tillsvidareanställning.

Anställningens omfattning: 100 %

Upplysningar om anställningen lämnas av Malin Graffner Nordberg, 018-471 7216, [email protected].
