Research Officer in Health Economics

The Centre for Economics and Policy in Health is a leading health economics research unit with a portfolio of research projects, including pharmaceutical economics and policy, economic evaluation alongside clinical trials, public health economics and methodological research in health economics. It leads on the economic assessment of new medicines for the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG).

Due to an expansion in the AWMSG work-programme to all new medicines not covered by NICE, we are seeking to appoint a research fellow and a research officer in health economics to assist in the production of assessment reports of industry submissions. Supported by academic health economists and the Welsh Medicines Partnership, this is an exciting opportunity for the post holders to further their careers in health technology assessment. Opportunities will also be available for collaboration in research projects.

Applications are invited from candidates who have a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree in economics or a health-related profession (e.g. pharmacy), with a Master of Science (or higher) degree in health economics or a related subject. Contracts are until 31st March 2013 in the first instance.
