University of Warwick, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

Fixed-term contract until 31 December 2025, 1.0 FTE.

Immunisation is a key and highly successful tool in the fight against a range of infectious diseases, but is associated with a considerable cost, with the UK spending in excess of £200 million per year on vaccines and vaccine delivery. Infectious disease and health economic models are therefore necessary to assess whether any change in the immunisation programme is cost-effective; that is, whether the value placed on health benefits or improvements in social welfare that ensue are less than the incremental cost associated with the change in programme. The project will initially extend COVID-19 modelling, but work on other immunisation programmes is likely over the three years.

The University of Warwick has considerable experience and expertise in this area, with the assembled team serving on the several government advisory boards associated with public health. The team brings cutting-edge research techniques in mathematical modelling and health economics to provide a complementary approach to the work undertaken in this area by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The University of Warwick has a strong international reputation for work on a range of infectious diseases and providing measured policy advice to several government agencies.

Through regular meetings with the DHSC and UKHSA, we ensure that our programme of dynamic and health economic modelling on infectious diseases meets the needs of DHSC (and JCVI), and reports are presented in a way that is of immediate use to policy-makers. In particular, we outline assumptions made, highlight gaps in the necessary data and define how these affect the interpretation of the results. Two other methods are being used to validate our conclusions: firstly, we seek to publish our findings in appropriate journals thereby opening our results to peer-review by the wider international academic community; secondly, we compare our predictions to changes in disease incidence and other health outcomes that follow changes in vaccine policy.

Interview Date: TBC.

**JOB PURPOSE**

To contribute to the research climate within the relevant departments and to further their international standing by conducting high-quality relevant research.
To perform the necessary modelling tasks to fulfil the demands of the Department of Health and Social Case (DHSC). This will involve scoping the available literature, developing mathematical models, matching models to data, and generating predictions of future levels of disease.
To assist in generation of policy-ready documents for DHSC and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to demonstrate our findings.
To draft scientific publications of appropriate journals that explain our methodology, results and their implications.
To interact with the public (at PPI or outreach events) to further promote our research.

**DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES**

**Research**
- To establish a sound research base in order to pursue individual and collaborative research of high quality, consistent with making a substantial research contribution in line with the departmental objectives of maintaining their world-class research performance.
- To attend and present research findings and papers at academic and professional conferences, and to contribute to the external visibility of the department.

**Administration and Other Activities**
- To participate in relevant professional activities, such as departmental research seminars.
- To participate in the organisation of research workshops and other events.

The duties and responsibilities outlined are not intended to be an exhaustive list but to provide guidance on the main aspects of the job. The post holder will be required to be flexible in their duties.
