Hiv Policy Research Manager 🔥


 Overview


The HIV Policy Research Manager position presents an exciting opportunity to lead the work of BAI’s new We the People: An HIV Policy Research Center that Works for All of California (the Center). The Center aims to expand the HIV policy discourse and evidence base to respond to socio-structural factors driving HIV disparities in California by focusing not only on the broad HIV-specific policy agenda but also on policy responses for the social and structural factors that increase vulnerability to HIV, increase tobacco-related morbidity and mortality, reduce service access among marginalized communities, and contribute to persistent HIV and tobacco health disparities.


The HIV Policy Research Manager is responsible for managing all aspects of our engagement, including developing and managing relationships with academic and community partners; representing the Center at events and to external stakeholders, implementing rigorous research designs; ensuring coordination and accountability for completing projects within specified timeframes; preparing reports and presentations; and developing other policy-relevant deliverables.


The ideal candidate has a proven track record in leading project teams and maintaining relationships with diverse stakeholders. We seek applicants who are comfortable carrying out research projects with Center partners, under the supervision of a principal investigator.


Black people, LGBTQ+ people, and people living with HIV or on PrEP are highly encouraged to apply.
