Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University?

We are seeking to appoint a part time Research Assistant and Masters
Studentship in Health Economics and Decision Modelling at Grade 6 level.
The post is within the Health Economics and Decision Science (HEDS) section
of the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR). You will work within
HEDS as part of the Health Economics and Modelling team, providing support
to Health Economics/Decision Modelling research staff on a range of applied
policy and methodical research.

The projects involve designing and undertaking health economic,
statistical, and epidemiological modelling based analyses for policy and
health technology. The work is for a wide range of decision makers. The
funders/customers include the Department of Health, NICE, Public Health
England, pharmaceutical companies, NHS organisations and the major UK
research councils.

This post is designed to undertake project work half time and at the same
time, undertake part-time education on our Masters in Health Economics and
Decision Modelling (HEDM). The MSc in HEDM aims to develop students to be
working professionals in Health Technology Assessment (HTA), decision
modelling and health economic evaluation. The Masters course fees will be
paid for by the department, on behalf of the successful candidate.

A graduate qualification in a numerate subject (e.g. statistic, economics,
operational research, mathematics or quantitative sciences or social
sciences) is essential and a post-graduate qualification or equivalent is
desirable.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a
generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to
a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and
professional development.



We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles whose
talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We
believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through
research, teaching and student experience.
