Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
We are looking for an exceptional, ambitious academic to lead Health Economics within the Warwick Screening Team, with expertise in Health Economics and Public Health modelling for screening programmes.
The appointee will join the rapidly expanding Warwick Screening team, a multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Professor Sian Taylor-Phillips based at Warwick Medical School (WMS). We specialise in evaluating health screening for a variety of conditions. Our work spans primary research, evidence review for national and international policymakers, and specialist teaching.
This exciting new post will involve leading health economics input into projects across the Warwick Screening portfolio; including supporting economic evaluation of screening programmes in large scale projects, leading economic modelling projects for policymakers such as the UK National Screening Committee in our Screening Evidence Synthesis Group, alongside primary research. You will provide senior leadership to junior and mid-career statisticians and health economists.
The successful candidate will attract substantial external research income to support a growing research team, lead national and international collaborations with partners in synergistic research areas; and contribute to the teaching of health economics at undergraduate and postgraduate level and play a key role in the supervision of research degree students.
Work undertaken will directly inform health policy at national and international levels.
About You
We are seeking someone with a PhD in a relevant field, and a research background focused on health economics applied to health screening, with a proven track record of obtaining research funding and a portfolio of high-quality research outputs.
