The Yale School of Medicine’s Office of Health Equity Research (OHER) is inviting applications for a Research Scientist position in Health Equity Research. The newly formed OHER provides an infrastructure to coordinate team science focused on health equity research across the translational research spectrum. The OHER provides resources to support existing and new programmatic and research efforts that advance the science of health equity research. Focal areas for the OHER include: 1) convening topical groups with stakeholders from across YSM to set the health equity research agenda for the school; 2) providing methodological consultation in health equity research methods; 3) strengthening community and stakeholder engagement to support collaborative research and programmatic initiatives; 4) supporting improved collection of data to facilitate rigorous health equity research; and 5) supporting dissemination science to translate effective solutions to structurally marginalized communities.
