Summary
We are looking for an enthusiastic health economist to join our ambitious and fast-growing team at the Centre for Health Economics at Warwick (CHEW).
The primary focus of the role will be to conduct economic evaluations alongside large multi-centre clinical trials.
There will also be opportunities to work on other types of applied and methodological health economic projects, drawing on existing and new strands of work at CHEW (for example in global health, mental health research and environmental impacts in health).
Research will be disseminated through high-quality journal publications and reports, informing policy at the national and international level. The post includes a range of opportunities, including further training and help to develop a future portfolio of work.
This post is funded from a portfolio of clinical trials; this is reviewed on an annual basis. Salary will be within the range 35,608 to £46,049 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience, plus a market supplement of £5,000 per annum pro rata.
Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
About You
You will have experience in conducting economic evaluations and use of suitable statistical software (STATA and/or R). You should hold (or been close to completing) a PhD in health economics or a similar relevant background. Previous experience of within-trial economic evaluation would be welcome.
