Full time, fixed term contract until 31 March 2028.

You will join Warwick Medical School, Division of Health Sciences to support the expanding work programme of Warwick Evidence, one of nine health technology assessment and evidence synthesis teams in the UK. You will be embedded within Warwick Evidence and the West Midlands Evidence Synthesis Group. The main focus of your work will be in providing research support in clinical effectiveness and epidemiology to health technology assessments for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and for the NIHR Evidence Synthesis Group and for other policy makers. You will undertake reviews for single, fast track and multiple technology appraisals (STAs, FTAs and MTAs), Cancer Drug Fund (CDF) reviews, diagnostic assessments (DAs) and systematic reviews that will inform the Department of Health and Social Care. You will work on topics of “ Best Research for Best Health: the next Chapter” and other evolving NIHR priorities. You will undertake systematic reviews and evidence syntheses of different methods (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods) and contribute to methodological research. There will be opportunities for assisting in teaching activities.

You will work with a multidisciplinary team of information specialists, health economists, statisticians, modellers and systematic reviewers in appraising evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of health technologies, including drugs, devices and diagnostics. Work undertaken will directly inform health policy at the national level.

You will have a good first degree and a PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant field. You will have experience of undertaking systematic reviews, rapid reviews, primary data collection, and of report writing coupled with an ability to produce high quality research relevant to the health sciences. You will enjoy working as part of a team and meeting tight deadlines. Knowledge and experience of rapid response to policy and undertaking HTA in a specialist area of interest to Warwick Medical School (e.g. survival analysis, pharmacology, network meta-analysis, mixed methods synthesis) will be valuable. You will be a good communicator, be highly organised and accurate in your approach to work, and have excellent writing skills.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£32,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£33,348).

You may be required to conduct some primary research to compliment the evidence sysntheis work. You will contribute your evidence synthesis expertise by carrying out health technology assessments, systematic reviews and other related evidence synthesis activities incuding teaching and preparation of research proposals. Work undertaken will directly inform clinical practice, health policy at a national level and future research.

You will be encouraged to develop skills to undertake evidence synthesis and health technology appraisals using diverse approaches and innovative methods that best suit the research question in hand.
