Medical Research Council funded PhD studentship

The Centre for Health Economics (CHE) at the University of York is offering a (3+1 years) Medical Research Council funded Capacity-building studentship to undertake an MSc and a PhD to start in the 2008/9 academic year.  The project will focus on methodological issues relating to the analysis of individual and aggregate patient?level cost?effectiveness data to inform resources allocation decisions in healthcare.  A brief outline of the project is given below.

The studentship will be under the supervision of Dr Andrea Manca (Senior Research Fellow in Health Economics, Centre for Health Economics, University of York) and Dr Alex Sutton (Reader in Medical Statistics, Centre for Biostatistics and Genetic Epidemiology, Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester).

The successful applicant should have a strong quantitative (e.g. mathematics, statistics, operational research, econometrics) background and an interest in developing statistical methodology in the area of healthcare cost?effectiveness analysis.    Some knowledge of economics is desirable but not essential.

This is an MRC award and the MRC eligibility criteria apply.  Full details about eligibility criteria are available here.

Applicants should send a statement of interest (no more than 1 page) and a CV with the names and contact details of two academic referees to Dr Andrea Manca (am126@york.ac.uk) by Wednesday 23rd April 2008.
