Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Health Economics / Health Data Science

About the Role

We are seeking a post-doctoral research fellow to play a key role in evaluating the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, personal and social impacts of two service innovations set in tuberculosis clinics within Barts Health NHS Trust in east London.

These comprise: 1) use of new rapid TB diagnostic techniques and 2) a new clinic addressing long-term impacts of TB infection. 

These innovations are part of a programme of work in the newly established Queen Mary and Barts Health Tuberculosis Centre, led by an internationally respected group of clinicians and researchers. 

About You

We are looking for an experienced researcher with expertise in health economic evaluation, health record data science, including interrupted time series approaches. Experience of infectious disease research would be an advantage. Findings will be published in respected academic journals and contribute to business cases to the Barts Health NHS Trust for continuation of these services. 

About the School

The Wolfson Institute of Population Health harnesses expertise across a wide range of population based research and education activities and aims to be an internationally recognised centre of excellence in population health, primary care and preventive medicine.

About Queen Mary

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities.

Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
