The Alan Williams Fellowships scheme was first launched in 2006 as a tribute to Professor Alan Williams and to enable health economists from anywhere in the world to spend time at the Centre for Health Economics in York, UK.
Mid-career researchers wishing to visit CHE are invited to apply and the fellowship award of £5,000 is intended as a contribution towards living and travel expenses associated with the visit.
Cinzia di Novi, a Research Fellow from the University del Piemonte Orientale, Italy, will be visiting CHE from 1 November 2011 - April 2012.
Cinzia was awarded an Alan Williams Fellowship and will be working on a research project during the visit, hosted by Rowena Jacobs, focussing on flexible working conditions, fixed-term contracts and their influence on employee psychological well-being.
