POSITION SUMMARY

The UCLA Center for LGBTQ+ Advocacy, Research, and Health (C-LARAH) is looking to hire a part-time Research Assistant to support the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) and various mixed methods studies, such as the Women's DoxyPEP study. The Research Assistant will support with collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, completing literature reviews, assisting with manuscript preparations, and maintaining IRB documents.

The Epidemiology department in the Fielding School of Public Health is a national leader in preparing a new generation of epidemiologists. Through specialized methodologies, epidemiologists identify, track, and analyze how diseases and other conditions are caused, transmitted, and prevented, as well as how they are distributed throughout the population. Such information plays a critical role in guiding policies and other evidence-based strategies to promote health and work toward health equity. The vital importance of epidemiologic research was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, in which epidemiologists have helped to track outbreaks and provide

guidance on how the virus spreads in community settings.
