• Conduct systematic and targeted literature reviews to evaluate the potential value of health innovations.
• Extract, clean, process and analyse data from existing institutional databases, study datasets and published literature.
• Perform economic evaluations in healthcare (cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis or budget impact analysis).
• Draft and contribute to research protocols, abstracts, manuscripts, evaluation reports and other scientific outputs.
• Prepare PowerPoint presentations and other communication materials for clinical, management, policy and academic stakeholders.
• Manage assigned research projects or major workstreams from initiation to completion, including development of research objectives and study designs; ethics and governance applications; data extraction, collation and analysis; stakeholder engagement; and preparation of study deliverables.
