The post holder will be encouraged to become involved in other HERC studies and teaching activities and to continue with their ongoing interests as far as possible. The post is available immediately, for 3 years in the first instance. Research assistance is also available.
Candidates should have strong graduate and postgraduate qualifications, an excellent publication and research record in health economics or a related field (health services research, applied microeconomics / microeconometrics, epidemiology, statistics), experience in disseminating research findings and teaching and a proven track-record in obtaining research funding.
