Research Associate or Fellow in Computational Health Policy Modelling

The Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation (CHEPI) at Imperial Business School is seeking a Research Associate or Research Fellow to advance the Health-GPS microsimulation model for non-communicable disease policy analysis. The successful candidate will contribute to code architecture, quantitative impact analyses, and international collaborative initiatives such as GOLDFINCH, JA Prevent NCD, and JACARDI. The role involves working closely with multidisciplinary researchers to simulate the long-term health and economic effects of public health interventions. Applicants are expected to drive high-impact academic publications, policy briefs, and stakeholder engagement.

• Contribute to the architecture, development, optimisation, and maintenance of the Health-GPS C++ codebase.
• Plan and deliver computational modelling deliverables across international research projects including GOLDFINCH and JA Prevent NCD.
• Integrate advanced methodologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches, into simulation designs.
• Conduct quantitative analyses to evaluate the health and economic consequences of dietary and lifestyle policy interventions.
• Manage and curate large or longitudinal datasets in cooperation with internal and external partners.
• Disseminate findings through peer-reviewed academic papers, policy briefs, and stakeholder workshops.
• Assist in drafting grant applications and contributing to the expansion of CHEPI research activities.
