Research Assistant in Health Economics
Location: Bristol, UK
Reference number: 15237
You will join an expanding team of health economists in the Departments of Social Medicine and Community Based Medicine. This post offers an excellent opportunity for a junior health economist with a particular interest in randomised controlled trials to contribute to empirical and methodological research within two exciting initiatives.
1) Bristol Randomised Trials Collaboration (BRTC) is a UKCRC-registered clinical trials unit. You will contribute to BRTC’s portfolio of high quality clinical research, particularly in the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of economic evaluations within large-scale randomised controlled trials of healthcare technologies.
2) The MRC Collaboration and innovation for Difficult or Complex randomised controlled Trials (ConDuCT) Hub’s remit is to develop innovative research methods for the design and timely delivery of randomised controlled trials.
In collaboration with senior hub researchers, you will develop methodological research related to economic evaluation of RCTs.
It is expected that you will use the experience gained to apply for a PhD studentship. You should have a good undergraduate or Masters degree in health economics or closely related disciplines, knowledge of current methodological issues relevant to economic evaluation alongside RCTs, and research ideas with potential for exploration in a PhD. Funding for the post is available for three years in the first instance.
