Description

Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University?

The School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) is looking to recruit an early (G7 Research Associate) or mid-career (G8 Research Fellow) researcher with strong background in statistics and/or econometrics, preferably in the area of causal inference, with an interest in evaluating the efficacy and comparative effectiveness of care technologies/services, to join the Health Economic and Decision Science (HEDS) section.

You will mainly work in conjunction with the ScHARR Knowledge Exchange (KE) team, providing support in the development of non-randomised study designs and associated analyses for the evaluation of care technologies or services.

You will also provide statistical and/or econometric support to multi-disciplinary teams as part of other HEDS research and consultancy projects.

Work will include the evaluation of new care technologies or services, usually within non-randomised study designs with a focus on the efficacy and/or comparative effectiveness of the care technology.

These evaluations could be supported through the use of primary data collection or reliant on existing 'real-world data' (RWD) sources.

You should have a postgraduate degree in statistics and/or econometrics, or other relevant discipline (or equivalent experience). A PhD (or equivalent experience) in statistics, or a relevant quantitative discipline, is essential for a Research Fellow.

We are committed to enabling our employees to work in a hybrid model with flexibility over when, where and how to achieve the required outputs, in discussion with your manager.
