This is an exciting opportunity to participate in two of the research themes of the Manchester Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care. You will demonstrate the contribution health economics can make to assessment of the potential benefits and costs of new interventions to promote access to specialist health care, and the preferences of service users for different models of access to specialist care. Working with Professor Linda Davies, your role will include working with multidisciplinary teams led by Professor Kinta Beaver and Dr. Chris Dickens. You will use experimental methods to elicit preferences of service users and use economic evaluation techniques to explore the potential cost effectiveness of alternative interventions. Good communication skills will be essential for maintaining collaborative links within each research team.
You should have a good first degree (or equivalent) in economics and experience of: applied econometrics, analysis of administrative or survey data and writing for peer review publication and reports.
