About the Role

This position is funded by a grant from the NIH/NIAID and focuses on addressing the critical intersection of HIV with co-infections such as tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). The role aims to contribute to research and interventions targeting the global burden of HIV and its associated co-infections, which significantly impact morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH).

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on the epidemiology, progression, and management of HIV and co-infections (e.g., TB, HBV, HCV).
• Analyze data to identify trends, risk factors, and outcomes related to HIV-associated co-infections.
• Collaborate with global health organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), to align research with public health priorities.
• Develop and evaluate interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality in PLWH, particularly those with co-infections.
• Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present research at conferences.
• Contribute to grant reporting and compliance with NIH/NIAID requirements.

Requirements

• Advanced degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in epidemiology, public health, infectious diseases, or a related field.
• Experience in HIV research, particularly in the context of co-infections such as TB, HBV, or HCV.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including proficiency in statistical software (e.g., R, SAS, Stata).
• Demonstrated ability to publish research in peer-reviewed journals.
• Experience working with large datasets and global health organizations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Skills

• Epidemiological study design and analysis.
• Data management and statistical modeling.
• Grant writing and reporting for NIH or other funding agencies.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and global partners.
• Knowledge of HIV and co-infection clinical guidelines and public health strategies.
