You will be responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the above research study, carrying out data collection, modelling and data analysis. Candidates must have a Master’s degree in economics, health economics or another quantitative subject such as operational research, applied statistics, or applied mathematics.

• Ability to develop research objectives, projects and proposals for own and joint research, with supervision if required

•  Competency to conduct individual and collaborative research projects

•  Ability to make presentations at academic conferences and other events

Candidates will be expected to have knowledge and understanding of economic evaluation or a strong interest in this area alongside experience of carrying out both independent and collaborative research.

Main duties of the role are to conduct research under the supervision of senior colleagues and to contribute to the production of research. This will also include communicating the results of research to different groups through written reports and papers, presentations at conferences and other forums, and at workshops and other meetings.
