The University Ramon Llull is a confederation of schools, faculties and departments. IQS is its oldest founding member and consists of two major schools, the School of Engineering and the School of Management that form each an administrative grouping of departments and other institutions among which there are three strategic academic divisions: IQS Executive Education that offers cutting-edge and transformative learning experiences to business leaders; IQS Tech Transfer that promotes research with impact, innovation and technology transfer for companies and organizations and IQS Tech Factory that fosters entrepreneurship and supports the creation of new scientific-technological companies.

With 100 years of teaching experience, IQS is a university center of reference, committed to donating responses to the continuum of challenges that the social, economic, technological and industrial context poses.

The candidate will also have access to a variety of research resources and funding opportunities to support the development of his/her academic projects, including the chance to collaborate with the Neuro & Digital Marketing Lab at IQS School of Management ( https://techtransfer.iqs.edu/en/solutions/neuro-digital-marketing-lab-iqs / ), a cutting-edge facility that enables the application of neuroscientific and biometric tools to real-world marketing challenges.
