  • Knowledge of the UK National Health Service
  • Knowledge of economic evaluations of innovations for the early detection of cancer
  • Experience and skills of developing stochastic simulation models
  • Ability to write and contribute to publications and make presentations at conferences
  • Good time management skills and the ability to cope with a variety of work demands and deadlines
  • Ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team and collaborate with other researchers
  • Providing health economics input into research studies
  • Highly motivated and able to work independently and unsupervised, manging own workload of complex tasks and competing priorities
  • Teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels

*Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD (or equivalent experience), including those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD. Where a PhD has yet to be, awarded appointment will initially be made at research assistant and amended to research associate when the PhD is awarded (PhD needs to be awarded within 6 months of the start date).
