PhD Candidate in Health Economic Evaluation

Oslo, Norway.

The PhD Fellowship is devoted to carrying out specific tasks related to the project entitled Holistic and sustainable lung cancer control strategies (LC-CONTROL), which is a 4-year project starting in January 2025 and is funded by the Norwegian Cancer Society. The overarching objective of LC-CONTROL is to identify a set of coordinated lung cancer control programs (i.e., tobacco control, screening, and cancer treatment) that sustainably and efficiently reduce the burden of lung cancer. LC-CONTROL will generate the first holistic policy evaluation framework to quantify the long-term outcomes of novel lung cancer control strategies, including health impacts on lung cancer as well as diseases detected by low-dose CT that extend beyond lung cancer. The project will involve the development and adaptation of complex natural history lung cancer microsimulation models to Norwegian data on disease burden, costs, and quality of life. The model will be expanded to include a two-stage genomic risk assessment and potentially artificial intelligence-assisted imaging. Using data from the Norwegian TIDL pilot screening trial, HUNT studies and linked registries, the project will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the TIDL protocol, 2-stage eligibility criteria, and screening algorithms incorporating novel technologies. The project is conducted in collaboration with researchers and clinicians at Ahus, NTNU, University of Tromsø, Drammen hospital, University of York and Harvard Medical School/MGH. Place of work is Oslo, but international travel will likely be required during the project period.
