We wish to appoint an exceptional Research Fellow in Health Economics to join the Care Delivery and Economic Sustainability research theme of the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration for Greater Manchester (NIHR ARC-GM) based at the University of Manchester. NIHR ARC-GM aims to undertake timely, needs-driven, transformative applied health and social care research.
The postholder will identify and review relevant academic and policy literature; sourcing and collating data; designing, undertaking and completing econometric analyses to produce evidence to help decision-makers spend money for the greatest good, and support the delivery and economic sustainability of health and care.
While the exact nature of the research has yet to be agreed with stakeholders, it is expected there will be a focus on shifting care from hospital to community settings, analysing linked patient-level data on hospital and community health services, and tracking inequalities in health behaviours and outcomes over time.
The successful candidate will work with Professor Matt Sutton and Dr Rachel Meacock and other members of the NIHR ARC team and will be based in the Division of Population Health, Health Services Research and Primary Care in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health.
