The Office of Health Economics (https://www.ohe.org/) wishes to recruit several talented and motivated (health) economics graduates, with interest and/or experience in the economics of the life sciences industry, health technology assessment and health care systems. Successful candidates with a completed (or soon to be completed) MSc in (Health) Economics, Industrial Economics or a relevant/related field will commence work by October 2025.

Upon joining OHE, candidates will undergo an initial short training period through which they will be exposed to the breadth of research topics and expertise across the business and where they will gain practical insights into the project work undertaken at OHE.

The OHE is a London-based, not-for-profit, economic research organisation founded in 1962. Our international scope and client portfolio span the public, private and charitable sectors. As a graduate economist, you will contribute to all of the OHE's core activities, which includes contract and grant-funded research.

OHE's work covers a broad range of analyses into the economics and policy of four related areas:

• Economics of innovation – for example, understanding how new pricing models can affect innovation and speed up patient benefit
• Measuring and valuing outcomes – for example, valuing health using stated preference techniques such as discrete choice experiments
• Value, affordability and decision-making – for example, assessing the value of health care through the use of cost-effectiveness thresholds
• Policy, organisation and incentives in health systems – for example, assessing how incentives, payments and reimbursement mechanisms can influence health care delivery, behaviours and performance or the effect of digital healthcare technologies on health outcomes

The main purpose of the role is to undertake and present analyses on topics in one or more of our areas of specialism. This involves working with OHE colleagues, clients, collaborators and external stakeholders.

• have a first (undergraduate) degree, preferably in economics (or another relevant discipline);
• be expected to obtain a postgraduate degree (MSc or equivalent) in health economics, industrial economics or similar within2025;
• have the ability to conduct research, write and present clearly argued analyses within tight deadlines;
• have good time management skills and an ability to efficiently prioritise and deliver tasks;
• be capable of establishing good work relationships with colleagues and clients;
• have the ability to work individually and as part of a team.

While we are primarily interested in hiring at the Graduate Economist level, we welcome enquiries by other motivated candidates with relevant experience and academic qualifications.

The OHE is committed to equality of opportunity. Anyone will be considered for a role within our business, and we will welcome applications from all candidates regardless of background.

Place of WorkThis role is hybrid, meaning that you have flexibility to work remotely and to work from our London Bridge office. Candidates must however be located within an easy commute to London as there will be the requirement to work at our offices in London for certain staff meetings or events, and to collaborate with colleagues for some project activities.

Company Benefits

In return you will receive a competitive salary, 25 days holiday plus 3 days off at Christmas, 6% minimum employer pension contributions (double employee contribution up to 10%), life assurance, private medical insurance, travel insurance and a monthly wellbeing allowance.

How to Apply:

Applications should include a CV and a cover letter. Please submit your full application to [e-mail] by Friday 30th May.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to join an initial MS Teams introduction and interview, which will take place virtually during the week commencing 9th June. Successful candidates will then be invited to a 1-hour face to face interview, which will be held at our offices in London, taking place on the 25th and 26th June.

We expect candidates to be available to commence work in or around October 2025, but can be flexible to meet the needs of the right candidates.
