Job Description
- Responsibilities: You will be responsible for developing economic models to inform decisions on the efficient allocation of resources available to healthcare providers, and communicating these insights to a variety of stakeholders
- Salary: S$4,500 per month, depending on your previous experience
- Benefits: Hybrid working options, generous holiday allowance, flexible working hours, private medical insurance, comprehensive travel insurance, full funding for external training and more

Heath Economists at Costello Medical develop economic models to inform decisions on the efficient allocation of resources available to healthcare providers, and communicate these insights to a variety of stakeholders in the healthcare industry. Economic models within the realm of healthcare are quantitative assessments of the impact of healthcare treatments, practices and policies, either through cost-effectiveness analyses or separate cost and benefit considerations. These models are typically built in Microsoft Excel, R, or C++, employing universal mathematical and statistical modelling techniques. Model development can frequently involve fitting statistical distributions and parametric survival curves to clinical data and therefore requires a good knowledge of statistics. In this role, you will typically be working on multiple projects at any one time, starting at around 3 to 4 when joining.
The models developed by our Health Economists have real-world implications, aiming to improve the efficiency of healthcare systems by using robust methodological frameworks to inform decision-making. Producing an economic evaluation therefore requires Health Economists to:
- Research and critically appraise medical and economic literature
- Liaise with external medical professionals
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across healthcare disciplines
- Understand the theoretical health economic framework and apply this to the project at hand
- Build high-quality, technically robust and clinically valid models in Microsoft Excel or other software
- Interpret and analyse model results, producing technically accurate written reports of methodologies and outcomes
The Health Economist will be based in our Singapore office, and will work closely with our Asia-Pacific team, as well as collaborating with experts in our UK team. This may provide opportunities to travel to our UK offices for training and mentoring with our experienced team.
