The Department of Economics is creating a Ph.D. program with a primary emphasis on Health Economics. We anticipate our first entering class in fall 2010.

The ideal candidate will be an established senior health economist with a strong publication record, entrepreneurial outlook, and an eagerness to help build an innovative program to train health economists. We are not looking at new Ph.D.’s for this position, but individuals currently at the rank of advanced Assistant Professor with strong publication records are also encouraged to apply.
The other position is at the assistant professor rank. The ideal candidate will have strong training in theory and econometrics and have health economics as their primary field.
These health economists will participate in the teaching of one of the two-semester Ph.D. health field courses, directing the Health Economics workshop/seminar and supervising PhD theses. Salary will be competitive.

Both the Centre for Public Health and the Centre of Excellence will oversee programs of innovative research that will change public health and healthcare practice and policy, leading to an improvement in the health of the population, a decrease in the burden of chronic illness and an improvement in the health related quality of life of patients living with chronic disease.
In addition, the Department of Education and Learning is supporting infra-structure for an all-island Diet, Obesity and Diabetes research programme that is bringing together expertise from Queen’s University Belfast, the Institute of Public Health in Ireland and the new National Research Centre for Diet, Obesity and Diabetes, led by University College Cork (NRC-DOB).
As part of this investment, the University is making a number of strategic academic appointments to develop and extend research strengths in Health Economics, particularly in relation to the evaluation of public health programmes and interventions related to chronic disease, with the aim of building an internationally recognised programme in Health Economic research in these fields. The appointee will be based in the Centre for Public Health in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences.
