The Centre has close links with a number of researchers in health, public economics, behavioural and experimental economics, development economics, and econometrics located in the departments of the Monash Business School at Clayton as well as the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences.
The Opportunity
The Centre for Health Economics is currently seeking to appoint an enthusiastic postdoctoral Research Fellow (Level B) or more experienced Senior Research Fellow (Level C) to join a highly motivated team at Clayton Campus.
The successful candidates will participate in one or more of the main research programs at the Centre:

• future development of these programs.
The Research Fellow will work closely with one or more of the senior researchers at the CHE - Professors Anthony Harris, David Johnson, Andrew Jones, Emily Lancsar, Duncan Mortimer, Michael Shields, and Silva Zavarsek. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own research program leading to potential future grant and fellowship applications within the period of the appointment.

• assist in the conceptual development and implementation of a specific area of research
• prepare research reports and academic papers
• have limited administrative roles primarily connected with the area of research
• participate more broadly in our portfolio of health economics research and teaching activities.
To be successful you will have a Doctoral qualification in health economics, economics or econometrics (or equivalent relevant research experience), and a high level of applied microeconomic or econometric expertise. You will be able to work both independently and as a member of a team. Applicants with a substantial track record of high quality publications in economics journals may be appointed at level C.
