Location: Philadelphia, PA

Open Date: Oct 29, 2026

Deadline:

The Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative at the School of Nursing in the
University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for a Research
Associate position in the Academic Support Staff. Eidos is a
cross-sector health innovation hub dedicated to developing,
testing, and scaling equity-centered solutions that improve health
outcomes for LGBTQ+ communities across the life course. Operating
at the intersection of academia, community, industry, and
philanthropy, Eidos advances research and innovation that address
behavioral, social, and structural determinants of health.

This appointment will initially be for one (1) year. Continuation
during that time period and renewal are contingent upon
satisfactory performance and the continued availability of funding
(limited to three [3] years). After three (3) years of initial
appointment, there is the possibility of renewal of another term,
contingent upon funding availability.

The Research Associate will advance an independent program of
scholarship aligned with Eidos' mission while contributing to the
Initiative's broader portfolio of translational and
innovation-focused projects. Responsibilities include leading and
conducting rigorous research; developing, testing, and evaluating
interventions; advancing implementation and dissemination
strategies; and contributing to multi-sector partnerships. The
successful candidate will engage in collaborative study
implementation, dissemination to academic and non-academic
audiences, and the translation of evidence into scalable programs,
policy-relevant insights, or sustainable innovation models.

This position is ideal for scholars who aim to bridge discovery and
real-world impact, and who are committed to advancing health equity
through interdisciplinary collaboration and bold, systems-oriented
thinking. This position requires in-person responsibilities

public health, nursing, behavioral or social sciences,

• LGBTQ+ health
• HIV health equity

non-academic sectors is highly desirable.
