Senior Research Associate in Statistical and Health Economic Modelling, Population Health Sciences, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol
This post offers an excellent opportunity for either experienced medical statistician with an interest in economic modelling OR an experienced health economist with good modelling and statistical skills. The post-holder will join the MRC-funded ConDuCT-II (Collaboration and innovation in Difficult and Complex randomised controlled Trials In Invasive procedures) Hub for Trials Methodology Research within the School of Social and Community Medicine (http://www.bris.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/centres/conduct2/). This post is linked to the theme on “prioritisation and design of trials for cost effectiveness analysis”, working on novel methods for trial design that are grounded in a decision-theoretic approach, via Expected Value of Information (VOI) calculations. VOI calculations require the development of a cost-effectiveness model, statistical synthesis of relevant available evidence, and optimisation over the space of possible trial designs. The post-holder will focus on the application of VOI methods with more than 2 treatments where the economic model is based on a network meta-analysis. The methods will be applied to applications related to surgery.
The post-holder will join a team of statisticians working on a programme of research on multi-parameter evidence synthesis (MPES) in decision modelling and epidemiology, ( http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/projects/mpes/), and will also join the Health Economics at the University of Bristol (HEB) team: http://www.bris.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/centres/healthecon.
The school offers professional development through its highly regarded programme of short courses in research methods (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/shortcourse), which are available free of charge to all staff. There may be opportunities to teach on existing short courses, and contribute to undergraduate teaching.
Salary range (per annum): Grade J: £36,001 - £40,523
