The RA will work 40% on research focused on the development and evaluation of integrated treatments for HIV and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and 60% on research focused on evaluating a leading symptom checkers app in emergency care and ambulatory settings. There may be additional opportunities to assist with other NIH-funded studies as needed. TheRA will work with Principal Investigators Drs. Kirsten Langdon, Tracy Madsen, and Hamish Fraser with opportunities for exposure to co-investigators in psychology, emergency medicine, primary care, infectious disease, and digital health.
