Job description

(Final title commensurate with experience: Manager, Senior Manager, Associate Director, Director)
The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) is an innovative, independent non-profit healthcare research organization dedicated to improving the application of evidence throughout the healthcare system. ICER produces influential public reports evaluating the clinical effectiveness and value of new treatments, tests, and delivery system interventions. These reports have strongly influenced US drug pricing policy and have been used by a wide variety of public and private insurers to guide price negotiation and formulary decision-making. ICER also convenes independent appraisal committee meetings at which public deliberation occurs to ensure that all perspectives are heard, and that scientific and ethical values are addressed transparently for the benefit of the public and all policymakers. In everything we do, our organization seeks to foster an honest public dialogue about the evidence on effectiveness and value, and to translate this evidence into action to improve patient care.
Because of the role it plays in the US healthcare system, ICER has become a leader in the methods of cost-effectiveness analysis as it is applied within a broader health technology assessment framework. We are already known within the international HTA community as leaders in specific areas such as the methods for evaluating treatments for ultra-rare disorders, as well as methods for addressing distinctive assessment challenges of cell and gene therapies that represent potential cures. ICER also is a leading innovator in methods to integrate traditional cost-effectiveness analysis with empiric and qualitative measures of broader dimensions of value and contextual considerations.
ICER is looking to expand its team, which includes a diverse set of clinicians, researchers, and policy experts. We are seeking a Health Economist-final title commensurate with experience-to help lead the health technology assessment and economic evaluation activities that serve as the backbone for all our work.
Details on the specific responsibilities and minimum qualifications are provided in the sections that follow. Before going there, however, ask yourself the following questions:
  1. Are you interested in using comparative effectiveness research and economic evaluation to effect change in clinical practice, insurance coverage, pricing of new interventions, and other policy, even in the face of sharp criticism by those uninterested in changing?
  2. Do you take particular pride in your writing? Are you able to convey complex topics and concepts to a broad audience in an economical and compelling fashion?
  3. Do you have experience with economic evaluation model building? Do you strive for quality in your work and your contributions to teams?

If you've answered "yes" to each question, read on!
