Offer Description
The position forms part of the European Research Council-funded Starting Grant project "Ethics of Mortality Measurement" (ETHME), which will consist of Principal Investigator Carl Tollef Solberg , two postdoctoral research fellows, two associated doctoral candidates, and a research coordinator. In addition, five internationally leading researchers constitute the advisory board of ETHME. ETHME is a theoretical project that investigates the theoretical and normative grounds for measuring deaths and evaluating their disvalue in summary measures of population health, such as the disability-adjusted life year (DALY). The project seeks to develop an "ethics of mortality measurement" that involves deliberation on choices and rationales behind the scope, construction, and applications of mortality measurements. ETHME consists of three work packages: WP1 – Understanding the nature of harm in death, WP2 – Building theoretically robust summary measures and WP3 – Evaluating procreation in future individuals.
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow's tasks will be to research in WP2, on the theoretical robustness of summary measures of population health, such as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Specifically, the candidate will focus on the theoretical and applied aspects concerning summary measures of population health, such as the relationship between death at the individual level and death at the population level, the modeling of lost life years due to premature death, the modeling of stillbirths, the commensurability of morbidity and mortality in summary measures, and policy relevance of different types of mortality measures. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will participate in ETHME’s research group based at a leading research centre on medical ethics.
