Post Summary
This is a health economics research position in Trinity's School of Medicine. The successful candidate will work on economic evaluation in advanced cancer, both conducting an evaluation as part of an international trial in cancer (EU Navigate) and exploring related conceptual and methodological issues.
The post offers experience and responsibility in multiple key aspects of applied health economics: processing and analysing trial data, devising and applying a decision model, refining and conducting simulation studies, lead authorship of papers and reports, and presenting results to diverse stakeholder audiences. Applications are encouraged from those with experience in health economic evaluation or a closely related quantitative field (e.g. health services research, statistics, economics and econometrics). We aim to appoint at the post-doctoral level but those with a relevant MSc and substantial relevant experience will also be considered.
The successful candidate will work with Professor Andrew Davies (local PI for Ireland as a clinical site, and Prof Consultant of Palliative Medicine) and Dr Peter May (WP lead, Adjunct Associate Professor in Trinity and Reader in King's College London).

The specific purpose of this employment is to work on the EU Navigate research project within the research group of Prof Andrew Davies (Principal Investigator). This research project is funded by an external agency. This employment is not offered on an indefinite basis as this project is finite. Termination of this contract will occur on completion of the work in which you are engaged in, or in the event of the funding stream being terminated or withdrawn by the funding agency.

Applicants should submit a Curriculum Vitae (max. 4 pages, including the names of two referees) and a cover letter detailing suitability to the post via email with the subject header 'EU Navigate Research Fellow (Post Doc)' to both Professor Davies and Dr May:

We recognise that the university will thrive by each of us respecting and caring for one another. We know we can achieve much more through working together.

And through being nature positive we connect not just with the environment but with our ambitions for a sustainable future.
At Trinity, we are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applications from all individuals, including those with disabilities, those who have followed non-traditional career paths, and those who have taken time out for reasons such as family or caring responsibilities. We also welcome international applicants, including those who have been displaced due to conflict or war.
