About the Role
A part‑time position is available at the level of Research Assistant in Health Economics at The University of Manchester. The successful applicant will work with Dr Christos Grigoroglou and Professor Katherine Payne on a programme of work quantifying costs of cancer care in England by stage of disease using routine data.
Recent research efforts focus on designing strategies to prevent cancer and detect it early in the disease process. This study aims to quantify the various costs associated with treating four exemplar cancers (lung, breast, cervical, skin) across stages one to four and assess whether early detection reduces healthcare costs.
Responsibilities
The research assistant will mainly contribute to collecting, assimilating, and analysing unit cost data from all available sources for UK health care to meet objectives (i) quantify relevant costs associated with treatment of people with lung and breast cancer by disease stage; and (iii) inform data assimilation suitable for model‑based cost‑effectiveness analysis to estimate incremental costs of adaptations to lung and breast cancer screening programmes. The assistant will work with health economists, health services researchers, and data scientists.
