Dear SDOH colleagues,

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) in Washington DC is 
seeking a candidate with public health or related training to spearhead 
its ongoing program on minority health disparities.

PRRAC is a national civil rights policy organization that works to connect
social science researchers with civil rights and poverty law advocates on
issues of structural inequality.  PRRAC's current areas of focus include
housing, education, and health disparities - see generally www.prrac.org
<http://www.prrac.org/>  (current projects).  PRRAC also publishes the
bimonthly newsletter/journal, Poverty & Race.

The Health Policy Fellow will work closely with PRRAC's Executive Director
to design and implement PRRAC's program on minority health disparities, with
an emphasis on the role of race and place in both health care access and
environmental determinants of health.  This work currently includes
convening regional meetings of researchers and advocates; refining PRRAC's
national directory of organizations working to address health disparities;
assisting with a series of lawyer trainings and training materials, and
working to design public health models that build on existing housing
mobility programs.

This one-year position is funded by a generous grant from the W.K.Kellogg
Foundation.

Job Qualifications:

Applicants should have:

*         Masters degree in Public Health or equivalent (candidates with a
law degree will also be considered; candidates with a B.A. may be considered
if they have particularly relevant training and experience).

*         Demonstrated interest and academic training in the area of
minority health disparities;

*         Excellent research and writing skills - including the ability to
translate medical and public health literature for advocates;

*         Excellent communications skills including media relations and
public speaking;

*         Ability to effectively relate with diverse constituencies;

*         Experience in coalition building and inter-organization
collaboration;

*         Organization and fundraising experience;

*         Strong interpersonal skills, positive attitude, and ability to
motivate others;

Term:

The fellowship position is for one year; however, there is a possibility of
renewal for a second year pending renewal of funding.

Compensation:   $40,000 (for candidates with a graduate degree) plus full
benefit package.

Application Procedure:

Please submit, preferably by email, a letter of interest, resume,
transcript, and contact information for three references.  Graduate school
transcript can be sent by regular mail.  Please send to:

Philip Tegeler
Executive Director
