About Delta Hat
Delta Hat is a consultancy based near
Nottingham providing industry-leading analysis to the pharmaceutical
sector and supporting UK health technology assessment (HTA) decision
making. We focus on the technical aspects of evidence-based medicine and
HTA, utilising methods such as cost-effectiveness modelling and
associated advanced statistical analyses (such as propensity scoring and
meta-analysis). For the right candidate, we offer a fascinating and
rewarding career undertaking research on medicines and producing
analyses that can directly influence clinical practice and benefit
patients.
At Delta Hat, we provide a high level of senior input to the projects we undertake. This means you would spend the majority of your time working in close contact with experienced members of staff. Collectively we have around 150 peer-reviewed publications and have contributed to over 100 assessments of health interventions for a range of health conditions.
Responsibilities
Your day-to-day work will involve the
analysis of economic inputs and clinical trial data in a combination of
Microsoft Excel and the statistical software package R. You will be
given responsibility from the outset and encouraged to develop a
specialism and continuously develop your skillset; learning is a large
part of our job. In summary, the role involves:
- Researching a disease area
- Applying and synthesizing the results of multiple data sources to estimate outcomes (including clinical trial data analyses)
- Identifying appropriate costs and other inputs from relevant sources
- Developing economic models to compare costs and outcomes between health technologies (i.e., cost-effectiveness modelling)
- Communicating findings to clients via face-to-face meetings, telephone calls and technical reports, with the potential to be present at industry conferences and publish in academic journals
- Writing HTA reimbursement dossiers which demonstrate the value of new health technologies to payers and healthcare decision makers
Benefits
We offer a compelling package for the right
candidate. As well as a generous starting salary and annual leave
allocation, we offer a flexible benefits package (including additional
annual leave purchase, electric vehicle scheme, and matched charity
donations). Further to this, an annual bonus is equally distributed
amongst staff, and share options are allocated annually. Staff
consultation is taken seriously, meaning you will have a say in how the
company operates and the type of work we take on, and how we undertake
it, from an early stage in your career. Additionally, we offer the
opportunity to undertake further study on a part-time basis (e.g., MSc),
where relevant to an individual’s interest and experience.
Due to the high level of exposure to a variety of projects, you would have the opportunity to develop quickly, and we will coach and support you to enable this to happen. We are keen to aid your professional development which may involve funding academic courses, attending conferences, or taking a range of different roles on projects. Our staff are our main asset, and we invest in them accordingly.
Role requirements
The candidate we are looking for will have
an interest in problem solving and critical thinking - whether that is
calculating black body radiation in astrophysics, the sensitivity of oil
prices to demand in economics, or the speed of a reaction in chemistry;
we value the skills and interest more than the exact degree. Although,
we would expect you to have achieved (or be on track to achieve) a 2:1
or above in an analytical subject (for instance mathematics, economics,
engineering or science-based subjects), as well as a Grade B or higher
in A-level mathematics (or equivalent). A benefit would be experience
with Microsoft Excel or statistical software/computer code (for example
R, VBA, SAS, Python, or Stata).
All candidates must have the right to work in the UK, and due to the sensitive nature of the work, are asked to declare any unspent convictions. Due to the number of applications we receive, we will be unable to respond to those who do not meet these minimum standards.
