Researchers in Health Economics (2 posts)

National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, Nuffield Department of Population Health, Old Road Campus, Headington, Oxford

Grade 7: £31,076 - £38,183 p.a.

We are seeking two Researchers in Health Economics to join the NPEU. These full-time posts (part-time considered, 80% FTE minimum) are funded by the NIHR and MRC for 2 years in the first instance, based at the University of Oxford.

We are looking for experienced and enthusiastic candidates to work on applied economic analyses in maternal and child health, using large and complex datasets. The key responsibilities will include reviewing and summarising literature, overseeing data preparation, analysis and interpretation and contributing to publications and presentations. The successful candidate will be supported to consolidate and further develop their research and analytic skills.

To be considered for this post you will have a postgraduate qualification in a relevant discipline (e.g. statistics, mathematics, economics, epidemiology or other quantitative discipline), research experience in health economics and good programming and data analysis skills (e.g. in Stata, R, Excel). Strong communication and time management skills are also essential for this role.

A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6: £27,629 - £32,958 p.a.) with a commensurate reduction in responsibilities if a suitable candidate cannot be found to fit the Grade 7 position.

For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Oliver Rivero-Arias (email: tel: 01865 617908).

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV and a supporting statement as part of your online application.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Wednesday 31 May 2017. The provisional date for interviews will be Tuesday 20 June 2017. Vacancy ID: 128282.
