Economists

Salary in range £30,000-£45,000,
depending on skills and qualifications

The Office of Health Economics (OHE) wishes to recruit two well qualified, highly motivated and energetic economists to contribute to all three of the OHE's core activities:

• peer-reviewed research
• consultancy
• advising the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry

The OHE is a London based economic research and consultancy organisation, founded in 1962. Our scope is international and our client portfolio spans all three sectors: public, private and charitable.

OHE's work covers a broad range of analyses into the economics and policy: (1) of health care systems, (2) of pharmaceutical and other life sciences industries, and (3) of health technology assessment.

We are keen to recruit two economists. One post would suit applicants with strong skills and interest in outcomes measurement, valuation of health states and quantitative approaches to health economics. The other post requires thorough knowledge of the economics of industrial organisation, competition and regulation. Applicants should have:

• a good first degree, majoring in economics;
• a postgraduate qualification and practical experience in applied econometrics or/ and industrial economics;
• interest in, and understanding of, policy related to health care systems and/or the life sciences sector;
• demonstrable ability to research, write and present clearly argued analyses within tight deadlines.

For further details please contact Claire Devaney at the OHE, Southside, 7th Floor, 105 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6QT, UK; e-mail cdevaney@ohe.org or telephone +44 (0)20 7747 8855.

Applications must be received by Monday 1st August 2011. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held in London in early September 2011.
