Implementation Science Working Group
The UCSF-Gladstone CFAR is recruiting for leadership for our Implementation Science Working Group (ISWG). The purpose of the ISWG is to build a local community of practice in implementation science, promoting collaborations that result in successful applications for HIV research funding. In the spirit of mentorship and continuity, we are proposing a joint junior-senior leadership structure, where interested individuals will jointly direct the activities of the group. These individuals will be responsible for organizing the ISWG’s program, which involves twice-monthly meetings where working group members or outside experts can present works-in-progress, specific aims reviews for grant applications, didactic training sessions on IS methodologies, as well as other activities, such as an annual meeting, that they deem necessary to develop the community. The senior director should be an established expert in the field and would provide guidance and support on SWG activities, while the early-stage director should be actively involved in implementation science research and will be responsible for the direct oversight and organization of the SWG activities, in conjunction with CFAR staff (including newly-appointed Joe Watabe). Salary support of up to 2% is available for the senior director and up to 5% for the early-stage director.
If interested, applicants should submit their NIH Biosketch or CV as well as a cover letter addressing their interest in the position, their relevant research and mentoring experience, and discussing any other factors they think should be considered by the review committee. Applications are due COB Monday, October 12, 2020, and a decision will be made by mid-October. Please submit applications below.
Newly-established HIV/COVID-19 Scientific Working Group
The UCSF-Gladstone CFAR is recruiting leadership for our new HIV/COVID-19 Scientific Working Group (HCSWG). The purpose of the HCSWG is build a community of HIV researchers able to address the Syndemic of HIV and COVID-19, through the organization of a virtual community and web-based platform. In the spirit of mentorship and continuity, we are proposing a joint junior-senior leadership structure. The HCSWG leadership will jointly direct the activities of the group through an interactive, web-based, virtual platform and the organization of monthly seminars featuring presentations of ongoing research from both senior investigators and early career investigators, providing an opportunity for feedback on study design, analysis, and interpretation of results as well as input on grant submissions. The HCSWG will also promote inclusion of the HIV/AIDS population in all planned research activities related to COVID-19, thus bringing in investigators from outside the field and ensuring PWH are an integral part of the COVID-19 response. The senior director should be an established expert in and would provide guidance and support on SWG activities, while the early-stage director should also actively be involved in COVID-HIV research and will be responsible for the direct oversight and organization of the HCSWG activities, in conjunction with CFAR staff including newly-appointed SWG Program Manager, Joe Watabe. Salary support of up to 2% is available for the senior director and up to 5% for the early-stage director.
