We are seeking a talented individual with experience in health economics or biostatistics to contribute to a number of projects within our economic evaluation team. The key components of the role will be to evaluate Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) submissions, and to conduct research for the purposes of publishing in leading academic journals, and research sponsored by government, business and not-for-profit organisations.
Accelerate your research career
Each year MUCHE invites outstanding international early career researchers to apply for an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA). This represents an excellent opportunity for early career researchers at the forefront of their field, to work at a leading Australian university, to develop their international research profile and to build a career as a high impact research and innovation leader of the future.
Researchers from around the world are eligible to apply if they have been awarded a PhD within the last 5 years (after 1 March 2011), or earlier if they can demonstrate periods of significant career interruption (maximum period is award of PhD within the last 9 years).
