Sr. Research Program Coordinator

The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions is a groundbreaking initiative in the field of public health advocacy and science. The Center combines the expertise of highly respected gun violence researchers with the skills of deeply experienced gun violence prevention advocates. We use a public health approach to conduct rigorous scientific research to identify a range of innovative solutions to gun violence. Because gun violence disproportionately impacts communities of color, we ground our work in equity and seek insights from those most impacted on appropriate solutions. Using the best available science, our Center works towards expanding evidence-based advocacy and policy-making

efforts. This combination of expertise creates a unique opportunity to turn public health research into action that reduces deaths and injuries from gun violence.

The Center for Gun Violence Solutions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is seeking a Sr. Research Program Coordinator to provide research support and oversight for multiple gun violence prevention studies under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.

This is a full-time, hybrid (2 days a week in the office) post based in Baltimore.
