*Summary*
You will support the Health Economics and Decision Science (HEDS)
research and consultancy programmes in 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.
This post is fixed-term for two years.
