How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

Tell us where a plan will break on real sites, real staff turnover, real patient barriers, or stigma
Review findings, reports and publications before they leave the building, and keep the science honest

U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)

Preferred qualifications

Hybrid effectiveness-implementation designs and frameworks such as CFIR, RE-AIM, EPIS or Proctor's implementation outcomes

Partnerships with community-based organizations, Ryan White sites, health departments or federally qualified health centers
Peer-reviewed HIV implementation science publications as first or senior author
