Eidos Research Associate


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
