As part of the university's comprehensive vaccination program, all Cornell employees are required to have and provide proof of an FDA-or WHO-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine and booster or have obtained a university-approved disability/medical or religious exemption, regardless of their role and work location.
New hires are required to provide documentation showing full vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or information is not received by their start date, the first day of work will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of employment may be withdrawn. New hires are also required to have and provide proof of their vaccine booster within 30 days of the start of their employment or within 30 days of eligibility for the vaccine booster.

The Action Research Collaborative (ARC) at Cornell University is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to conduct equity-focused research to improve the health and well-being of historically marginalized populations in New York City (NYC) and New York State (NYS). We are seeking an applicant with experience conducting community-engaged research with multidisciplinary teams. Scholars will be expected to work on multiple studies with faculty from various disciplines (e.g., nutrition, communication, policy, psychology) and community partners. There will be training on various methodologies, developing culturally appropriate interventions, and policy dissemination.
Action Research Collaborative - Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research (cornell.edu)The mission of ARC is to develop and support equitable and sustainable research-practice-policy partnerships that can generate solutions to improve the lives of communities that are too often neglected. Our members approach these partnerships from multiple disciplinary perspectives and methodological approaches–we apply whichever approaches are most relevant for the project at hand. We involve community partners at all phases of the project (i.e., from study design to dissemination of findings). The overarching goal is for these projects to inform interventions and public policies, especially policies that support the well-being of marginalized populations.
