The Centre for Health Economics (CHE) at the University of York has a leading international reputation and is one of the world’s largest health economics research centres. CHE is committed to the development and application of economics to promote health and wellbeing through the effective, efficient and equitable use of scarce resources. In recent years, CHE has significantly progressed its activities in global health economics, expanding and complementing our existing research strengths in this field through the development of a portfolio of high quality and rigorous methods and applied research of international policy relevance.
CHE is committed to promoting an inclusive community, one in which diversity is recognised, valued, and celebrated. CHE is a friendly and supportive department that embraces hybrid and flexible working patterns, enabling staff to work partly remotely (within the UK) according to project needs and their preferences.
The University seeks to attract the very best staff from all over the world and offers a visa application fee & IHS reimbursement policy.
We are seeking to appoint a research fellow with a strong background in applied microeconometrics and an interest in policy impact evaluation using quasi-experimental methods.

The researcher will have the opportunity to contribute to health policy evaluation research in different countries, initially through two large research programmes focusing on health system financing policies for universal health coverage in LMICs. There will also be opportunities to contribute to the development of new research proposals, in line with the researcher’s interests.
