Research Faculty Position
Center for International Health and Development
The Center for International Health and Development (CIHD) has an opening for a health economist or general applied microeconomist with interest and experience in health economics in developing countries.  This is a Boston-based, one-year (renewable), project-funded position at the level of assistant or associate research professor, with the potential for renewal depending on the availability of funding and the researcher's performance.

Background:  The CIHD is a multidisciplinary research unit committed to improving public health and promoting social and economic development in the developing world.  It is part of the School of Public Health at Boston University and shares faculty and offices with the School's Department of International Health.  One of the CIHD's largest research programs aims to understand and strengthen the global response to HIV/AIDS, and in particular to evaluate and improve the prevention, care, treatment, and mitigation interventions currently underway in Africa and Asia.  Research activities are funded by a range of international donors, including the U.S. government (PEPFAR) through USAID and the CDC.  Expansion of the CIHD's programs in South Africa and Zambia has created an opening for an additional research scientist to contribute to multiple studies and serve as the principal investigator for one or two.

Responsibilities:  The current opening is for a versatile microeconomist or health economist who can both provide statistical and economic analysis support to study teams and take leadership on individual studies.  Initial responsibilities will include substantial technical involvement in studies of the costs and outcomes of pediatric AIDS treatment in South Africa and Zambia and the development of a health economics training workshop for African researchers.  Other responsibilities and new projects can be developed based on the researcher's interests and abilities.  The position is likely to require the researcher to spend about a quarter to a third of his or her time overseas, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.

Requirements:

  • Doctoral degree in economics or a related field (e.g. public health, public policy).
  • Broad technical competence in economic and statistical analysis.
  • Experience in carrying out applied research in developing country settings.
  • A demonstrated ability to develop and implement new projects.
  • Demonstrated leadership potential, resourcefulness, and intellectual creativity.
Interested candidates should send letter, CV, and writing sample by post or e-mail to Ms. Devina Patel, Center for International Health and Development, Boston University School of Public Health, 801 Massachusetts Ave, 3rd fl, Boston, MA, 02118, USA, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
