Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
We are looking for an enthusiastic health economist to join our ambitious and fast-growing team at the Centre for Health Economics at Warwick (CHEW).
The primary focus of the role will be to conduct economic evaluations alongside large multi-centre clinical trials.
There may also be opportunities to work on other types of applied and methodological health economic projects, drawing on existing and new strands of work at CHEW (for example in global health, mental health research and environmental impacts in health).
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
