The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.
Research and education at The School of Community Medicine and Public Health spans global public health, general medicine, occupational medicine, environmental medicine, social medicine, drug use and drug policy. We also conduct teaching and research in nutritional epidemiology, insurance medicine, health economics, biostatistics and registry epidemiology. We develop interdisciplinary research within the UN's global goals for sustainable development, with a focus on goals 3 (health) and 8 (economic development).

The health economics group within the department conducts teaching and research related to this topic. The teaching of health economics takes place primarily within the department's programs and courses, as well as within quantitative methods courses in postgraduate education. The research is primarily applied and often takes place in collaboration with clinical research groups. We work with both large health register data and data from clinical trials, and collaborate closely with Region Västra Götaland.

The position also includes consultation and research collaboration with several clinical research groups within Sahlgrenska Academy, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Region Västra Götaland. The successful candidate is also expected to seek external research funding both as a principal applicant and as part of other research groups.
