The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic health economist to join our ambitious and fast-growing team at the Centre for Health Economics at Warwick (CHEW).

Research will be disseminated through high-quality journal publications and reports, informing policy at the national and international level. The post includes a range of opportunities, including further training and help to develop a future portfolio of work. This post is funded from a portfolio of clinical trials; this is reviewed on an annual basis.
