About the role

You will play an important part in assessing health technologies and policies, applying economic evaluation methods, and producing high-quality research that supports health care decision making.

As a senior member of the team, you will be responsible for:

- Reviewing and analysing health economic literature.
- Conducting statistical analyses and developing economic models.
- Leading financial and budget impact assessments of health technologies.
- Preparing research reports, journal articles, and presentations.

A solid understanding of health systems and cost structures, either in Australia or comparable jurisdictions, is important.

We are looking for candidates with a tertiary qualification in health sciences, medicine, public health or epidemiology, combined with strong quantitative skills. Postgraduate study in health economics, statistics or health technology assessment will be an advantage, and familiarity with software such as Excel, TreeAge or @Risk will also be highly regarded.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to research that influences both health policy and clinical practice. You will be part of a supportive and collaborative team, with opportunities for professional growth and development in a respected organisation.

At our organisation, we are proud to have a positive impact on improving health outcomes in the community. Our people are especially important to us, we treat everyone fairly and are mindful of our colleagues and their wellbeing.
