We’re looking for a person who has lived experience of racialisation and marginalisation to lead our social and community content work. Social media and community content creation has been truly amazing for us as we have found friends, colleagues, clients, funders and allies over the past 6 years and we want to build on that with someone that shares our visions on health justice.

Centric Lab is a Black, and Indigenous led scientific research lab building radical infrastructure for communal healing. Our research lab uses neuroscience and environmental data to identify how biological inequity contributes to poor health outcomes in neighbourhoods and peoples that have been racialised and marginalised. We use this research to build open-access community tools, create new narratives and framings of health, and provide organisations with expertise and insights on health and place.

• To help us grow our audience

• To help us find more friends, allies, and kin
