Job Opportunity at CoMotion

Posted on by

Hi Engineering Colleagues,

I know a few of you from my past work at CSE and in the Dean’s Office, but several of you are new to me. I work at CoMotion, the UW’s tech transfer office. As you might be aware, we have 3 incubators on campus, 2 in Fluke Hall and 1 in Condon Hall. We have a student worker position currently open.

My colleague, Ashlee Esteban <aesteban@uw.edu>, is hiring. She or I <krleikin@uw.edu> are happy to answer any questions. If you have students that are interested in startups, this would be a wonderful, kind, and friendly home for them to work. We genuinely have fun every day. We are excited to have a student join us soon.
