The Health Economics Research Centre (HERC) in the Department of Public Health, University of Oxford, wishes to appoint an ambitious and experienced senior health economist to develop research and teaching in international health economics. This is a strategic investment by the Division of Public Health and Primary Health Care.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to play a central role in developing a long-term programme of research and teaching in international health economics. The person appointed will be able to build on the successful recent establishment of the Department’s MSc in Global Health Science, the presence of the Oxford Tropical Medicine Network with its permanent overseas research units, and the University of Oxford’s many strengths in economics and medical sciences. The post is available immediately, for 5 years in the first instance.
Candidates should have a postgraduate degree in economics, an excellent publication and research record in health economics or a related field (applied microeconomics/microeconometrics, development economics), a strong track-record in obtaining research funding, a commitment to teaching, and willingness to undertake overseas travel for field work and supervision. Previous research experience related to economics and health in low- or middle-income countries is highly desirable.
