Health Economist/Research Associate: Johns Hopkins University’s International Vaccine Access Center

Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Application Opening Date: April 30, 2012
Application Deadline: May 31, 2012
Institution: Johns Hopkins University’s International Vaccine Access Center (JHU’s IVAC), 855 N. Wolfe Street, Suite 600, Baltimore MD 21205
Website: http://www.jhsph.edu/ivac

Mission and goals: JHU’s IVAC mission is to accelerate global access to life-saving vaccines through development and implementation of evidence-based policies.

Policy makers typically have to consider a range of benefits for different health interventions when making decisions about which interventions to pursue and justify their choices on economic grounds due to competing health care needs. Among questions that policy makers frequently asked are:

  • Is vaccination effective in improving child health?
  • Is vaccination cost-effective?
  • Is vaccine introduction affordable given its current price?
  • How can my actions potentially improve the affordability or cost-effectiveness of vaccination?

IVAC’s Economics and Finance (E & F) Program provides answers to some of these questions. The impetus for the program is to address disparities found in immunization programs (e.g., vaccine economics and funding, introduction lags, immunization coverage and inequities). Understanding the economics of disease and disease prevention is a complex process requiring innovative approaches to tackle the myriad of potential factors involved. The challenge lies in identifying relevant factors to consider under a variety of circumstances. By complementing information on vaccine efficacy and economics with local and regional estimates of disease burden, the E & F team seeks to improve the economic evidence base for policy decisions in countries that are most in need of vaccines.

Position: We are inviting applications for a health economist to assist our E & F team with the growing portfolio of economic and financing studies of vaccine-preventable diseases, including, but not limited to dengue, malaria, meningococcal disease and pneumococcal disease. The study results will be used to inform policy and guide public health leaders, private sector participants, funding partners and disease program managers in decision-making for improved economic evidence base.

Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will:

  • Evaluate existing data and support the team in developing an appropriate operational research agenda.
  • Design and develop methodologies for analyzing costs and benefits of vaccine-preventable diseases in developing countries.
  • Apply developed methodologies in gathering and analyzing data to evaluate the economics of vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • Assist in the preparation of interim reports and updates to support discussions with policy makers.
  • Present findings in formal and non-formal settings and make finding accessible for practical applications in advocacy materials.
  • Assist in the preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals.

Qualifications

  • Health Economics Masters Students, Health Systems Masters Students.
  • Interest in collecting data from developing countries, particularly Africa, Asia and Latin America.
  • Self motivated and able to work very closely with non-economists from several disciplines, including epidemiologists, policy makers, training officers, clinicians, health educators, etc.
  • Willing to look for innovative ways to combine economic theory and data analytic methodologies with public health data and theories.
  • Willing to produce documents that are readily accessible to practical applications and multidisciplinary audiences as well as manuscripts that can be published in biomedical journals.
  • Able to work with international non-economist counterparts in non-U.S. settings
  • Willing to travel approximately 25% of the year.
  • Spanish- or Portuguese-language speaking ability is desirable.

Compensation: Commensurate with experience and educational background

To apply:

Please prepare an application packet that contains:

  • A letter describing your interest, qualifications and requirements for this position
  • A copy of your current Curriculum Vitae
  • A list of three references with their contact information.

Submit the materials by E-mail to:

Ms. Sheridan McDonagh smcdonagh@jhsph.edu

Supervision of this position will be provided by Dr. Dagna Constenla, Director of IVAC’s E & F team.

Faculty Positions in Outcome Science (Open Rank): Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Reference number: P-116-117N-12

We are recruiting for two open rank faculty positions in outcome science in the Department of Medical Social Sciences (MSS). Established in March, 2009, under the direction of Dr. David Cella, the Department provides a unique scientific home for applied researchers who integrate biomedical and social science approaches to improvement of health and health care delivery across the lifespan. Scientific themes of the Department center on measurement innovation and rapid translation of basic discovery to application. The Department promotes scientific integration across Northwestern’s biomedical and life sciences campuses. Because an interdisciplinary, collaborative orientation is a defining element of the Department, MSS provides an ideal home for scholars whose work is integrative and cuts across traditional content areas. MSS provides rich resources for conducting research including a broad scientific portfolio of psychometrics, outcomes research, health informatics, and multi-level assessment methods.

The search is open to candidates at all ranks. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in research methods or applications that advance outcomes research, comparative effectiveness research, or clinical trials. This can include research on study design, measurement, and analysis using psychometric, econometric, decision-analytic or other related approaches. Departmental research emphasizes pediatric and adult outcomes measurement science, item response theory, and applied clinical research. Candidates with expertise in Item Response Theory (IRT) including the development and application of item banks are of particular interest. The candidates will play a critical collaborative role in the broad outcome science portfolio of the Department and in its training mission. They will also be encouraged to capitalize on the wealth of studies and datasets at MSS as a springboard for new lines of investigation.

The candidate should have an outstanding record of scholarly publication and evidence of collaborative and interdependent biomedical research, including a history of extramural funding or exceptional promise of such for junior applicants. Demonstrated commitment to teaching is also desired. A critical consideration will be the extent to which the candidates’ focus is synergistic with ongoing Departmental research and culture of collaboration. Participation in Departmental training activities and University service are also expected and valued. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and credentials. These are full-time continuing positions. Start date is flexible.

Applications will be considered until positions are filled, but for fullest consideration applications should be received by June 1st 2012. Additional information about the Department of Medical Social Sciences can be viewed at http://www.mss.northwestern.edu

Following further growth, a Global Pharmaceutical Company with a presence in over 40 countries worldwide is seeking a new Market Access Manager / Senior Manager to join their organisation in Switzerland. Global in scope (including Europe and the US), this role will have its biggest focus on the emerging markets of Latin America and Asia Pacific.

The role is split in to two key main areas;

Supporting the Latin America and Asia Pacific Markets in their Market Access, Health Economic and HTA efforts for brand new products coming through the development process up to pre-launch. This involves speaking with VP’s in each country, and helping with model adaption and data provision for the local level

For the established product portfolio of existing products, you will have direct involvement with launches in countries where the product has yet to be launched, developing market access arguments to overcome hurdles, as well as updating materials in relation to the product.

Essentially, the role is an exciting combination of hands on market access with a strategic element, and will involve developing exceptional value dossiers and communicating key value messages to show the clinical benefit of a strong portfolio of new products in the pipeline and existing products in to new areas.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a role within a Global Pharmaceutical company, where you will have a direct and significant impact in key launches in the emerging markets.

You will have a strong background in Market Access, with some experience of either the Latin America or Asia Pacific region. Some knowledge or background in Health Economics would be highly desirable. The key is an outstanding communicator, who is innovative and able to work with affiliates globally to understand their local market access challenges, and to develop strategies and outstanding clinical based arguments to overcome these challenges. In terms of languages, the successful candidate will speak excellent English; any other languages are desirable, but not essential.

In return, the role offers an excellent salary and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to develop innovative and effective market access strategy in two of the world’s biggest emerging markets.

To apply, please email (in confidence) your CV to cliff.cox@evisci.com, or email me to schedule a time to speak for a discrete, informal discussion; this will be held in strictest confidence, and your CV will not be sent to, or discussed with, anyone without your express prior permission.

Senior Manager: Global Health Economics

Location: Can be based in Switzerland, France or London
Salary: To 180,000 CHF / 90,000 euros plus Car Allowance plus Benefits plus Bonus

Following a series of successful compound innovations within R&D and successful licensing of new products, a new role has been created for a Senior Manager of Global Health Economics, within an established Global organisation. As this is a matrix project lead role, the position can be based in the company offices in either Switzerland, France or London.

The Senior Manager of Global Health Economics will have responsibility for overseeing the health economic modeling and value proposition output of the Global Health Economics team, playing the lead role in ensuring that everything developed will clearly demonstrate cost effectiveness and assist the affiliates in developing successful HTA approval submissions. You will also lead highly skilled project teams delivering global projects through matrix management, as well as developing global value propositions that the local affiliates can adapt to suit their conditions.

The role essentially covers the following key areas;

  • Leading projects involving Consultancy Suppliers - from briefing the Consultancy in question on the requirements (including Health Economic models and value dossiers), through to critically assessing the finished product to ensure it meets the requirement
  • Matrix Managing teams assisting affiliates across the globe in developing effective models and value dossiers, ensuring that all output is what it should be
  • Taking products from early phase R&D right through to pre-launch - including developing global Value propositions that can be adapted at local level

This Senior Manager role demands a strong base of commercial experience. A background in Consultancy or Pharma is fine, however the candidate must have experience of developing effective models and global value propositions - this role is not all about developing them yourself, but as the person who will oversee global modeling output, you must be able to speak with authority to Consultancies and internal teams to brief them on the requirement, and also ensure that what is produced meets the requirement.
