JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
About the Unit:
The Center for Asian Health Equity is the only research center in the Midwest to address the diverse health care needs of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs). The Center works in collaboration with the Asian Health Coalition, a community-based ethnic serving organization. The Center builds teams that span disciplines and sectors across multiple constituents to study health disparities that affect immigrants and communities of color. A vital part of the Center’s mission is its strong and sustained community engagement with more than 45 AANHPI organizations across the country. Through this engagement, the Center elevates AANHPI voices and representation in community-engaged research. The Center fulfills a critical need to improve the health of these underserved populations to advance health equity.
