Description

Job context


The Wolfson Institute of Population Health harnesses expertise across a wide range of population based research and education activities and aims to be an internationally recognised centre of excellence in population health and preventive medicine.

The Institute is organised into five separate research centres which, though complementary and following the Institute strategic plan, also have Centre-specific objectives and requirements.

The post-holder will work in the Centre for Evaluation and Methods (CEM).

CEM is a new and thriving research centre that incorporates a number of collaborative units who work closely together to deliver outstanding research based on their combined and complementary research strengths.

The Centre comprises of four units, including two UKCRC registered clinical trials units (CTUs):
Barts CTU and the Pragmatic CTU; the Methodology Research Unit; and the Health Economics and Policy Research Unit.


The post-holder will be based in the Health Economics and Policy Research Unit which develops empirical and methodological health economics research across disease areas, public health problems and healthcare systems to generate evidence that informs national and international health policy.

The group also provides health economics teaching and advice to students and professionals.

Key methodologies include economic evaluation alongside clinical trials, decision analytic modelling and evaluative studies embedded in routine and cohort health data.

Key disease areas include cancer, cardiometabolic conditions, mental health, neurology, orthopaedics, respiratory health, surgery, and public health.
