JACARDI, the Joint Action on CARdiovascular diseases and DIabetes is a European Joint Action (JA) funded through the European Commission’s EU4Health programme, involving 21 EU countries and 77 partners. Over 4 years, JACARDI aims at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (DM) in EU countries, both at individual and societal level. 

The post-holder will join research teams at both Bocconi and Imperial College to lead a critical component of JACARDI, the health and economic evaluation of interventions aimed at preventing and treating cardiovascular disease and diabetes. 

While formal employment will be with Bocconi, the appointed candidate will spend a significant proportion of their time in London working with the Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation (CHEPI) at Imperial College Business School. Working in London is subject to obtaining an appropriate visa.

Job description: The candidate will be expected to contribute to the development of a methodological framework for the multi-dimensional (health and economic) evaluation of interventions designed to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The candidate will also be expected to undertake evaluations of selected interventions, based on the above framework, and to provide support to project teams undertaking similar evaluations of other interventions. The position will involve close collaboration with a team of researchers based at Imperial College London, which will require the candidate to be based at Imperial College for at least part of the duration of the appointment.
