With the aim to recruit research staff for the implementation of one of the sixteen \u00abCollaborative Projects\u00bb selected in Catalonia within the framework of the Complementary Plan for Biotechnology in Catalonia, this selection process is opened. This Complementary Plan is co-funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Generalitat de Catalunya under the C17.I1 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.Introduction to vacant position:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarri\u00e0 Chemical Institute (IQS) and the Sant Joan de D\u00e9u Hospital (HSJD) are looking for a Research Assistant to work on a project studying how the different biomechanical parameters present in the upper jaw play an active role during the osseointegration of bone implants used in maxillofacial surgery for cleft lip and palate cases. The objectives of the project consist of establishing a correlation between the biomechanical parameters of the maxillofacial scenario and the osseointegration of the implant, as well as optimizing the geometry of the implant in order to promote osseointegration<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract will be within the framework of the \u201cDevelopment of advanced biomechanical models for planification and improvement of surgical practice applied to cleft lip and palate maxillofacial surgery\u201d (BIOMOD) project prioritized by the IBEC under the \u201cPlan Complementario de Biotecnolog\u00eda aplicada a la Salud\u201d (biotechnology applied to health<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Plan Complementario is co-financed by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovaci\u00f3n and the Generalitat de Catalunya, with funds from the European Union NextGenerationEU (PRTR-C17.I1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The successful candidate will develop research involving:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
