Applications are invited for a Health Economics researcher to join a team led by Associate Professor Koen Pouwels.

The successful candidate will hold an MSc in health economics, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline and have strong analytical and coding skills. Experience in evidence synthesis, economic evaluation, or infectious disease research would be an advantage.
