Within the SIIRI research network, fundamental mechanisms of implant complications across various medical disciplines are investigated to develop strategies for effective prevention. This is possible due to close transdisciplinary cooperation between dentists, medical doctors, natural, social and engineering scientists from seven universities/institutes (Hannover Medical School (MHH), Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), Hannover University for Music, Drama and Media (HMTMH), Technical University of Brauschweig (TUBs), the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI), University of Augsburg (UniA) and Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz (JGU)). The focus is on developing detection and reaction systems that can recognize incipient biological or technical complications early, and prevent or treat them through appropriate measures. The developed systems will merge into a digital implant life cycle management, ultimately leading to a long-term increase in implant safety. Communication research contributes innovatively by examining doctor-patient communication and analyzing how acceptance and trust in new implant technologies can be promoted.

We offer
  • Cutting-edge, highly interdisciplinary implant research and implant life cycle management, from basic research to clinical application, patient and science communication
  • Structured 3-year PhD/1-year MD-program integrated in the Interdisciplinary Research Training Group (IRTG) “Implant Technologies”
  • A modern, individual curriculum with defined milestones and overarching learning outcomes in accordance with the European framework for research careers.
  • An interdisciplinary mentoring team supporting individual career paths (research, academic and industry).

We expect
  • Transcript of excellent Master degree in one of the mentioned disciplines/candidates in medicine or dentistry.
  • CV highlighting previous achievements.
  • A convincing motivation letter explaining your scientific interests and career goals in the research network.

Please indicate your interest in at least one of our PhD/MD/Postdoc-projects. Follow this link for further information.
