HERC Supervisors: James Buchanan & Sarah Wordsworth
OXFORD-MRC DOCTORAL TRAINING PARTNERSHIP
Eight industrial CASE (iCASE) studentships are available for doctoral study at Oxford University, to start in October 2022. Each iCASE studentship is fully-funded for four years with a stipend of the UKRI stipend level + £2,500 p.a., all course fees paid, plus a research training support grant.
Designed to nurture the academic entrepreneurs of the future, the Enterprise studentship programme offers a stimulating educational experience as part of the Oxford-MRC DTP cohort, with the additional benefit of working closely with an industrial partner. This will provide entrepreneurial training opportunities and an insight into how commercial science is conducted alongside a superb academic base within the University. Students will work for at least 3 months in the associated company (Health Economics & Outcomes Research - HEOR).
Applications must be received by 12 noon (UK time) Friday 3 December 2021.

iCASE STUDENTSHIP WITH HERC SUPERVISORS
One of these topics has a health economics focus: Building the next generation of health economic type 2 diabetes simulation models to evaluate new drugs and interventions to treatment diabetes
This project will build on over 20 years of diabetes health economic research conducted at the Heath Economic Research Centre, University of Oxford. It will involve unique access to patient level data from up to six large long-term randomized controlled trials and registries to build a new health economic diabetes simulation model aimed at capturing the effects of several new therapies for diabetes, such as Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).
It will be supervised by Prof Philip Clarke, A/Prof Jose Leal from HERC, Oxford University and Prof Phil McEwan, Chief Executive Officer of HEOR.
Given the nature of the project strong quantitative skills in statistics and some experience in simulation modelling would be an advantage.
