The University of British Columbia, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Respiratory Medicine and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences are seeking to hire an academic health economist to further develop a rapidly expanding respiratory health economics program. The successful candidate would hold a joint appointment with the Faculties of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, grant tenure track. This position in the Respiratory Evaluation Sciences Program (RESP) is geographically based at the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute. The successful candidate would join a large group of health economists distributed across the major academic health science centres affiliated to UBC.
The successful candidate would have PhD level training in health economics and a proven track record in obtaining peer reviewed funding as well as publications in the area of health economics. It would be expected that the successful candidate would be competitive for an external salary award.
