Job Description

The James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina is seeking applications for the Digital Dentistry Fellowship with a strong research and academic focus. This is a one year, full-time fellowship position housed within the Department of Reconstructive and Rehabilitation Sciences.

This fellowship will provide advanced training in digital dentistry and innovation-driven clinical education. The fellow will gain hands-on experience with digital workflows, CAD/CAM technologies, and materials used in implant dentistry. The position also includes a research component involving different technologies.

Primary responsibilities will be to advance the integration of digital workflows in implant dentistry education, while expanding restorative care capabilities within our state-of-the-art Innovation Laboratory. For this, the fellow will participate in teaching dental students in preclinical restorative dentistry courses, support educational and production within the innovation laboratory and Digital Dentistry residency (with digital workflows in implant-supported restorations), as well as support and conduct research involving innovation.

The Digital Dentistry Fellow will:

- Manage the complete in-house digital workflow for implant supported crowns and bridges,

including the design of custom abutments and crowns, milling, staining, glazing, and

cementation for clinical delivery.

- Assist DMD students, AEGD and Digital Dentistry residents with case documentation using intraoral photography, facial scanning, and digital design tools.

- Participate in interdisciplinary implant courses with residents and attend DMD-level implant courses and lab sessions to support educational continuity.

- Facilitate training sessions for faculty, residents, and students on digital treatment planning, CAD/CAM integration, and emerging technologies in restorative and implant dentistry.

- Conduct research projects focusing on CAD/CAM workflows, 3D-printed restorations, milled materials, scanner accuracy, and other relevant areas of digital innovation.

- Design and implement evidence-based educational modules that integrate clinical protocols with emerging digital technologies, including CAD/CAM, 3D printing, and guided implant surgery. These resources will be structured to support both undergraduate and postgraduate learners, thereby enhancing accessibility and standardization of training.

Qualified candidates must hold a DDS/DMD or equivalent degree. A master degree in restorative dentistry or prosthodontics is highly preferred. Being in a PhD or post-doc program is also highly recommended.
