Queensland University of Technology
Posted 16 days ago
QUT is seeking a candidate with an honours or masters qualification in an economics, health or related discipline to undertake a PhD under the supervision of Dr Hannah Carter, at the Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (AusHSI) based at QUT Kelvin Grove.
This project forms part of an NHMRC-funded Centre of Research Excellence in Paediatric Palliative Care.
The PhD program involves the design and conduct of a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to explore how consumers prioritise different elements of paediatric palliative care models. It comprises a number of sub-projects including a systematic literature review, a synthesis of existing qualitative data, and the design and analysis of a quantitative preference survey.
There is scope for the candidate to incorporate an additional related project that aligns with their own interests.
