The Health Equity Action Lab has a mission of conducting community-engaged, policy-relevant research to improve health equity.

Using nation-wide electronic health and social records routinely collected in Brazil, the postholder will contribute to investigating the social and environmental determinants of health.
The candidate will have an MSc degree in a multidisciplinary public health course (e.g., Control of Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology, or Public Health) either awarded or imminent, or equivalent training and relevant experience in epidemiology and advanced statistical methods.
The role will support the PIs and the MOMENTUM and Health Equity Action Lab project teams with the completion of deliverables including progress reports, research briefs, publications, and PowerPoint presentations.
It is essential the candidate has experience working on research data from LMICs and desirable to have working knowledge of French language and previous international collaborative work experience.
