Researcher in Health Economics 

Grade 7: £36,024 – £39,347 per annum

Following considerable success in the award of new research funding in the area of health economics, we are seeking to appoint to a new position at the researcher grade. You will join an expanding group of health economics researchers based at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS).

The successful candidate will work on a research programme, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, aimed at generating empirical evidence as to which components of socioeconomic inequity need to be targeted to reduce preterm birth rates in the UK and internationally. Experience of conducting econometric analyses using suitable statistical software (e.g. STATA, R or SAS) is essential.  

The successful candidate will actively collaborate in the development of research articles for publication. There will also be opportunities to participate more broadly in the NDPCHS’s portfolio of health economics research and teaching activities.

You should have (or be close to completing) a DPhil/PhD in health economics or one of its cognate disciplines, and have experience of using statistical software (e.g. Stata, R), coupled with the ability to produce high quality health economics research relevant to the health sciences.

The post is available for two years in the first instance.

For further details and information on how to apply for the post, please contact Dr Sungwook Kim (Email:[email protected]) or Prof Stavros Petrou (Email: [email protected]).
