Salary: £28,685 - £36,298
Closing Date: Friday 11 October 2013
Summary
You
will support the Health Economics and Decision Science (HEDS)
research and consultancy programmes, undertaking health
economics/decision modelling research and consultancy on a
range of applied policy and methodological research funded
through our research and consultancy programmes. The projects
involve designing and undertaking modelling based analyses for
policy and health technology appraisal for a wide range of
decision makers. The funders/customers include the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) through the
ScHARR Technology Assessment Group, the Department of Health
through the Economic Evaluation Policy Research Unit (EEPRU),
and individually funded research projects and pharmaceutical
funded consultancy projects.
The
work programme of HEDS involves health technology appraisal,
policy appraisal, analysis of complex datasets and
methodological development to support the appraisal process.
Specific approaches used as part of these projects include
decision analytic modelling (e.g. Markov and discrete event
simulations), optimisation techniques and multivariate
statistical analyses. You will work with senior staff to
design evaluations, develop methodological work, undertake
cost-effectiveness analyses and disseminate findings in
peer-reviewed journals. You will be encouraged to develop your
own methodological research interests that are complementary
to those within HEDS and contribute to Masters level teaching
and supervision.
You
should have a Masters degree or equivalent in a numerate
subject for example, mathematics, operational research,
statistics or economics. A PhD in a related subject is
desirable.
This
post is fixed-term for two years.
