H1-B Transfer or New H1-B - Needed Guidance

My friend is in this situation:

My friend has a PhD and is currently holding a lecturers position at a college. His college has sponsered his H1-B.

His position is being terminated in two months and he would like to move from the academic field into the industrial field.

Will he have to file for a new H1-B, because the two positions are so different?

Or would he be able to apply for an H1 transfer?

Thanks in advance.

Tim
