The Centre for Infections is seeking to appoint a high calibre Head of the Modelling and Economics Unit. The Unit consists of a small core team of talented staff who together in collaboration with staff within and outside the Centre, provide outputs that are crucial in informing national policy regarding the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of planned interventions aimed at controlling infectious disease. You will provide leadership and support for the work currently being undertaken within the Unit and have a remit to expand the modelling and economic activities for those infectious diseases that are currently not provided for.
This post would suit either a Health Economist or a Mathematical Modeller and you will be expected to have a national or international reputation in one of these disciplines. The Centre for Infection is an internationally renowned centre of excellence for expertise, reference microbiology, research, surveillance and epidemiology in relation to human health, working directly and indirectly at the local, regional, national and international level. The modern purpose built centre is well equipped and provides excellent library, occupational health and refectory facilities. There is also a nursery and gym on site.
