The health economists are for example involved in assessing the costs and effects of COVID-19 vaccination, they advise policy makers about decisions to change vaccination programmes against pneumococcal infections, they assess the cost-effectiveness of preventive medicine against HIV infections.

Your role is to help assess the burden of disease of infectious diseases in the Netherlands, to measure the possible gain in the quality of life of new vaccines, and to weigh these against the costs of vaccination.


Your responsibilities include:
- conceptualizing and developing cost-effectiveness models for preventive interventions against infectious diseases such as vaccination and/or screening;
- handling and analyzing large data sets;
- conducting literature reviews;
- contributing to annual reports on the disease burden of infectious diseases in the Netherlands;
- communicating study results to relevant stakeholders e.g. the Health Council of the Netherlands;
- publishing the results in scientific journals.

Who are you

We are looking for someone who has completed a master study in health economics, medical or pharmaceutical sciences, mathematics or in a related field.

Experience with relevant health economic analysis, e.g. as a PhD, is not a prerequisite, but could be an advantage.

We do have to be strict about one thing. You have a professional level of verbal and written communication in English.

As you will also encounter written Dutch documents, such as policies, we require a Dutch reading level of at least C1.

Please make sure this is apparent in your resume.

The team
You will be part of the department for Infectious Disease Modelling. This team, is an open, dynamic, international and stimulating group comprising modellers and health economists who are socially engaged.

Your direct team of colleague consists at the moment of 14 people of whom one is an experienced health economist.

We are an international group as we have a healthy mix of Dutch and non-Dutch team members.

We tend to work half of the time from home and the other half from the office in combination with flexible working hours.

Everybody finds a balance that works for them and we encourage and respect that.

We are one of the leading research groups in its field, and maintain numerous collaborative links with external academic and non-academic institutions.
