Professor and Director: Health Economics Research Group (HERG), Brunel Umiversity
Location: London, UK
Reference number: HTA0012-1
Closing Date: 06 July 2009
Position: Opportunities within HERG, Health Economics Research Group
Competitive salary offered
This appointment will play a key role in a further phase of development of this flagship Specialist Research Institute. HERG achieved excellent results in the recent RAE and is highly regarded nationally and internationally for policy-relevant, applied health economics research and a growing PhD programme. The University is committed to its further expansion.
The post provides an exciting opportunity to build on the success of HERG with an opportunity to influence its future direction and foci. The professorial appointment will be expected to take on the Directorship of the Group as Professor Martin Buxton steps down later this year. The post is permanent a position and is supported from general University funds, though the successful candidate will be expected to continue to expand the external research funding available to the group.
Candidates with first-class experience and expertise in any aspect of health economics will be considered but a future director will need to demonstrate an ability to lead an ongoing program of work broadly focussed around economic evaluation, in terms of both methodological development and applied policy relevant studies. Strong quantitative skills, a substantial publications record, a record of success in obtaining significant research grants and leadership of major projects are required. We envisage that the successful candidate will be familiar with the UK health and health research context but we will be pleased to consider excellent candidates with relevant academic and research experience in other countries.
Competitive salary will be available for the right candidate.
Potential candidates may contact Professor Martin Buxton, Director of HERG (01895 265443; Email martin.buxton@brunel.ac.uk or Professor Julia Fox-Rushby (01895 266864; Email julia.fox-rushby@brunel.ac.uk for an informal discussion.
