    Job no: 503114
    Work type: Part-Time
    Location: Hybrid/Flexible Work Arrangement, Other - Philadelphia, PA
    Categories: Drexel University, Dornsife School of Public Health

    Job Summary

    The Ubuntu Center on Racism, Global Movements & Population Health Equity at the Dornsife School of Public Health is seeking a part-time Graduate Research Assistant, to assist the project manager and project staff on the Illuminating and Addressing Healthcare's Role in Perpetuating Structural Racism (ISR) project, a three-year, multi-site initiative sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The ISR project intends to synthesize and build on existing research to clearly illuminate the historical roots of structural racism in the healthcare system and the modern-day structures, policies, and institutional practices that have resulted in and perpetuated structural racism and a culture of white supremacy. To accomplish this, our team will: 1) Cultivate a diverse network inclusive of scholars, community members, organizers and activists, and healthcare practitioners engaged in antiracism efforts; 2) Develop a framework to understand structural racism and racial capitalism in the healthcare industry and identify potential entry points for antiracism action utilizing systems science and organizing tools; 3) Translate and disseminate project learnings to key audiences through a collaborative, multimedia narrative strategy; and 4) Co-develop organizing tools that build power and agency towards accountability and policy transformation. These activities will produce a roadmap for future research, funding, and, most importantly, bold action towards dismantling structural racism in the healthcare industry.

    This is a hybrid position that requires in-office hours based on the project and PI needs. The office is in Philadelphia, PA. Local and remote candidates will be considered. A 10-15 hour per week commitment is required, with work beginning in July.
