Position Summary:
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Coordinator.

We are seeking a full-time Research Coordinator for the Health x Housing Lab within the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Grossman School of Medicine. In this role, the successful candidate will be responsible for supporting and coordinating the Lab's research studies on topics at the intersection of housing and health, including qualitative and mixed methods studies rooted in community-engaged principles. The Research Coordinator will also be responsible for facilitating engagement with community partners toward the Lab's tri-fold mission of research, education, and policy, including organizational partners and partners with lived experience of homelessness. This position will report to the co-director of the Health x Housing Lab, Giselle Routhier, PhD, MSW.

The Health x Housing Lab serves as a trusted broker of evidence-based information and guidance for initiatives, practice, and policy sitting at the intersection of health and housing. The Health x Housing ("health by housing") Lab fulfills its mission through a focus on three key activities: 1) conducting research to build the evidence base for initiatives, programs, and policies at the intersection of housing and health; 2) offering evidence-based advice to inform policy and other interventions related to health and housing; and, 3) providing education to expand the reach of practice-relevant evidence on health and housing. The Health x Housing Lab has a specific focus on homelessness, but its work also encompasses housing instability, quality, supply, and affordability issues. The Lab's work is guided by a commitment to improving health equity and addressing the role of structural racism in health inequities. The Lab's work is guided by a commitment to improving health equity and is shaped by an Advisory Committee that includes people with lived experience of homelessness and/or housing instability, as well as other relevant stakeholders.
