The Opportunity

The Health Economics Group (HEG) is seeking a talented and driven Research Fellow to contribute to a portfolio of nationally significant projects focused on the economics of mental health. Based within the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine – one of the largest and most impactful public health schools in the Asia Pacific – HEG supports evidence-informed health system improvement through robust economic analysis.

This is your opportunity to lead or support high-impact economic evaluations, contribute to methodological innovation in modelling and data analytics, and help shape policy that improves lives.

As a Research Fellow, you will:

• Conduct applied research in health economics, particularly focused on economic evaluation, cost modelling, and the economics of mental health
  
  
• Support economic analysis of healthcare utilisation, outcomes and costs using national datasets
  
  
• Develop and apply algorithms for cost-effectiveness analysis, burden of disease, and health system modelling
  
  
• Prepare high-quality manuscripts, reports, and funding proposals
  
  
• Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, government, and health service partners
  
  

We're looking for someone who brings:

• A relevant qualification in health economics, public health (with strong economics focus), or data science
  
  
• Strong skills in health economic evaluation, statistical programming (R or Stata preferred), and scientific computing
  
  
• Excellent problem-solving, planning and written communication skills
  
  
• Experience working with health-related data and modelling methods
  
  
• A collaborative, independent, and organised approach to research
  
  

Desirable (not essential) skills include experience with version control (e.g. GitHub), automated reporting (e.g. R Markdown), or interactive dashboard development (e.g. R Shiny).

The successful applicant will be appointed at either Level A or Level B, commensurate with qualifications and relevant experience. Please specify in your cover letter the level that you are applying for.
