The Health Economics Research Group (HERG) within Brunel University
seeks to appoint:
Professor & Director: Vacancy Ref: HTA0012-1
Professor or Reader: Vacancy Ref: HTA0013-1
These appointments will play key roles in a further phase of development
of this flagship Specialist Research Institute. HERG achieved excellent
results in the recent RAE and is highly regarded nationally and
internationally for policy-relevant, applied health economics research
and a growing PhD programme. The University is committed to its further
expansion.
The posts provide an exciting opportunity to build on the success of
HERG with an opportunity to influence its future direction and foci. The
professorial appointment will be expected to take on the Directorship of
the Group as Professor Martin Buxton steps down later this year. The
other professor/reader appointment will be expected to make a major
contribution to the future development of the Group. Both the posts are
permanent positions and are supported from general University funds,
though the successful candidates will be expected to continue to expand
the external research funding available to the group.
Candidates with first-class experience and expertise in any aspect of
health economics will be considered but a future director will need to
demonstrate an ability to lead an ongoing program of work broadly
focussed around economic evaluation, in terms of both methodological
development and applied policy relevant studies. For both posts strong
quantitative skills, a substantial publications record, a record of
success in obtaining significant research grants and leadership of major
projects are required.
Competitive salaries will be available for the right candidates.
In the case of an outstanding candidate without the experience required
for a reader appointment we would consider making one of the
appointments at a Senior Research Fellow level.
Potential candidates may contact Professor Martin Buxton, Director of
HERG

Fox-Rushby
(01895 266864; E.mail [log in to unmask]) for an informal
discussion.
