Post Doctoral Position
Dear Friends/Colleagues,
I am writing to you to announce (again) as post-doc position
here at Drexel SPH, under my supervision and mentorship. It is fully funded for
two years, with ample opportunities for expansion of funding to extent this
position. Of course, there may be an opportunity for especially well qualified
applicants to grow into a faculty position here or elsewhere in metro Philadelphia area.
I currently have in my possession a large amount of data
from sociobehavioral studies of sexual risk and STIs among self-identified MSM,
as well as data from high risk African-American men (not enrolled as MSM)
enrolled though urban general medicine clinics. Additionally, we have a good
amount of repeated measures HIV, HCV, and HBV virologic and immunologic data,
as well as detailed antiviral treatment data on more than 2000 HIV+ patients
followed at least quarterly at the Drexel HIV Partnership Practice clinic.
Finally, I am building active collaborations with two large clinics and one
agency here in Center City Philadelphia: Drexel’s OB/GYB clinic that serves
several thousand mostly poor women of color annually; the 11th Street Corridor
Clinic (Drexel-affiliated) that provides general medicine care for
approximately 10,000 patients (of all ages, both men and women, and again, mostly
African-American and Latino patients); and YHEP (the Youth Health Empowerment
Project:

that serves many thousand adolescents at very high risk of acquiring HIV annually).
If you know of a recent PhD/ScD graduate or someone who will graduate this fall
and who would like to take a next step for focused work, please refer them to
me. I am eager to fill this position and get to work on an ever-growing backlog
of work! I would be happy to fill this position for Fall 2009, January 1, 2010,
or early Spring 2010.
Many thanks,
