We are offering up to two fully-funded, full-time, three year PhD studentships in Health Economics. We will provide the successful student with the opportunity to study in an area of health economics of direct relevance to the work of the Policy Research Unit (PRU). You will be based in the section of Health Economics and Decision Science (HEDS) which is part of the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), at the University of Sheffield.

• Capturing caregiver burden within the new eQALY measure

• Valuation of severe health states

These are on a competition funded basis.
You will be supervised by a team from within the PRU in conjunction with others from ScHARR. The supervisory team will be selected to reflect the research interests and expertise necessary, according to the chosen PhD topic. We will also involve advisors from the Department of Health and Social Care as part of your supervisory team.
The studentship will include tuition fees (at the home/EU student rate: applications from elsewhere are welcome but would need to self-fund the difference in fees) plus an annual maintenance grant (at the Research Council Doctoral Stipend rate which is currently £15,009 for the year 2019/20). In addition, there is an annual Research Training Support Grant of £750 to cover other expenses such as conference attendance, training courses, equipment and books.
Candidates must have a First or Upper Second-Class Honours Degree, and a Merit at masters or significant, relevant work or research experience.
