Research Opportunities
The UNC School of Dentistry is recognized nationally and internationally
as one of the strongest research-oriented dental schools. On the campus,
it enjoys a long track record as one of the most active and productive research
units. The School of Dentistry offers a number of training opportunities
with a strong research component.
Individuals at many advanced stages of education and training have requested
opportunities to join the School's research laboratories, an international
recognition of expertise in specific areas. The University also offers
a broad range of graduate and advanced dental education programs. Master
of Science degree programs are offered in Dental Hygiene Education, Endodontics,
Operative Dentistry, Oral Biology, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral
and Maxillofacial Pathology, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontology,
and Prosthodontics. Graduate education to the Ph.D. level is offered in
Oral Epidemiology and Oral Biology.
The School of Dentistry at UNC also has multi-disciplinary relationships
to pursue research problems and conduct training. Several of the research
faculty have programmatic research activities which involve faculty in
the Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Several training initiatives
involve faculty from outside the School of Dentistry, including the Oral
Biology Ph.D. Program. These relationships have allowed significant research
and training activities to develop over the years, and exhibit the close
relationships with other units on campus that allow us to take advantage
of University resources, expertise, and opportunities for expansion for
both basic sciences and clinical research.
In addition to degree and certificate-granting programs, researchers
of the School of Dentistry offer postdoctoral training and training for
visiting scientists. Opportunities for post-Ph.D. training may be made
available through specific research programs and investigators, and interested
individuals should directly contact faculty in the field of interest.
Visiting scientists and postdoctoral research associates represent an
international community and established collaborative relationships with
many foreign and U.S. institutions.
