• Build realistic economic evaluations that move from the research question to a final recommendation.
• Write reference answers that make the methodological reasoning behind each choice easy for another economist to follow.
• Grade model output for analytical soundness and test whether the assumptions hold.
• Flag analyses that look credible but could mislead a payer or a regulator.

Requirements11

• Graduate degree (MS, MPH or PhD) in health economics, economics, public health, epidemiology or another quantitative field.
• At least 3 years of professional or research experience in health economics or outcomes research.
• Hands-on record building economic models, not just reviewing them.
• Clear written English for explaining methodological reasoning in detail.
• At least 10 hours each week to commit to project work.
• Depth in cost-effectiveness modeling, budget impact analysis, real world evidence or HTA submissions.
• Experience with NICE, ICER, CADTH, PBAC, IQWiG or AMCP submissions.
• Modeling work in R, TreeAge, Excel and VBA, Stata or SAS.
• Use of claims or EHR data such as MarketScan, Optum, IQVIA, Medicare, SEER-Medicare or Flatiron.
• ISPOR membership, conference presentations or peer reviewed publications that apply economic evaluation methods.
• Precepting NP students, teaching clinical content, holding a DNP or carrying another specialty certification adds weight.

Who Should Apply
