2. Conduct comparative analyses of care pathway costs and assess scalability and sustainability of innovations.
3. Contribute to policy roadmaps and regulatory guidance for adoption of digital health technologies.
4. Write scholarly manuscripts and policy briefs for scientific and non-scientific audiences.
5. Disseminate findings internally at LSE and externally at national and international conferences.
Candidates should hold a PHD in health economics, health services research, health policy or have relevant experience. You should have Experience in economic evaluation methods, including modelling and simulation techniques and ideally some experience carrying out policy analysis, and some familiarity with regulatory landscape for digital health technologies. Candidates should have demonstrative ability to collate and analyse data from a range of sources, have ability to analyse and research complex ideas, concepts or
