The postholder will divide their time between two projects funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), a project examining take-up of Pension Credit and the Policy Research Unit in Health and Care Systems and Commissioning (PRUComm). You will undertake highly relevant applied research and liaise closely with independent economic and social policy experts, plus policymakers and advisers in the Department of Health and Social Care.

An excellent Masters degree in Economics or Health Economics (with a substantial econometrics component) plus a PhD in Health Economics or Economics are essential.
