Job opportunity - Mar 2019

We have a prestigious PhD studentship in Health Economics that is generously funded, as part of the QUEX joint Postgraduate research programme between the University of Exeter, UK and the University of Queensland, Australia. This exciting project combines the Health Economics expertise and early cancer diagnosis of both Universities, supervised by Professor Anne Spencer and Dr Antonieta Medina-Lara in Exeter and Professor Steve Birch in Queensland.

The aims of this project are to explore the relationships between pre-existing conditions and cancer diagnosis in an ageing population using choice based experiments. The project will incorporate the impact on patients of receiving a positive test in terms of anxiety and costs that are often overlooked in economic-evaluations.

For an informal conversation regarding this post or any other future opportunities in our Health Economics Group, please contact Professor Anne Spencer (a.e.spencer@exeter.ac.uk). Further details can be found here. The closing date for applications is 19^th May 2019.
