Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Eikemo har doktorgrad i sosiologi fra 2008 og har i hovedsak forsket på helseforskjeller i og mellom land. Han skrevet flere artikler omhandlende sosial ulikhet i mental helse, kroniske sykdommer, og dødelighet. Når det gjelder hvilke mekanismer som gir lange liv i god helse, har Eikemos forskning hatt et bredt fokus: fra velferdspolitikk og helsesystemer på overordnet nivå, til sosiale, materielle, livstils-relaterte (som røyking, alkoholforbruk, fysisk aktivitet og kosthold), arbeidsmiljø, arbeidsledighet, og bruk av helsetjenester på individuelt nivå.
Eikemo har ledet flere europeiske helseprosjekter og leder nå arbeidet med Europas største sosiologiske helseundersøkelse (helsemodulen i den 7. runden i European Social Survey).
I 2009 ble han tildelt prisen for yngre forskere innen humaniora fra det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab, og i 2010 mottok han SINTEFs pris for fremragende forskning. I 2014 ble Eikemo valgt ut som én av 17 forskere i NTNUs Stjerneprogram.
