Offer Description

The Miguel de Cervantes European University (UEMC), located in Valladolid, Spain, is a higher education institution recognized for its commitment to academic excellence and innovation. With a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various areas of knowledge, UEMC is distinguished by its practical approach oriented towards the professional development of its students. Our university is a dynamic learning space, where quality teaching is combined with advanced research and close collaboration with the business sector and the community. At UEMC, we foster an inclusive and multicultural environment that prepares students for global challenges, promoting leadership, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Our commitment to educational innovation and social responsibility positions UEMC as an ideal option for those seeking comprehensive and cutting-edge training. Among the research groups affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences at the university, i+HeALTH is included.

DENS-iA research group investigate the biomechanics in the field of oral implantology, including force analysis, stress distribution and the interaction between implants and surrounding tissues. DENSiA research group improve clinical practice and quality of life of patients optimizing dental implants, oral rehabilitation, and surgical techniques. In addition, the research group investigate the use of aligners in the treatment of dental malocclusions and the implementation of digital technologies in the field of oral rehabilitation, developing more efficient, aesthetic, and comfortable techniques and materials for the treatment of oral pathology.

DENS-iA research group is a team with extensive experience and knowledge in the field of dentistry, notable for its collaboration with the Engineering Department of the University of Deusto, Universidad Internacional de Catalunya, Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Universidad de Oviedo, and some companies as ANAXADENT and KLOCKNER.

We seek a highly motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Researcher at the UEMC. The position is part of the DENS-iA research group. Our group offers an international and interdisciplinary research environment with close links to the improvement of dental implant biomechanics, orthodontics, and digital flow in oral rehabilitation with the general purpose of optimize clinical processes, providing an impact on clinical practice, oral health, and the quality of life of young and adult patients.

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available to join an interdisciplinary team working on biomechanics applied in oral implantology (oral surgery, implantology, maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, prosthodontics, and orthodontics). The person joining the research group will engage in activities within the research areas that the group has open, with a particular focus on drafting scientific articles.
