The PHACS network conducts multiple US-based longitudinal studies to evaluate the health of pregnant people with HIV and their children, including young adults born to women with HIV. Additional details about the HOPE study is available at . Information about the PHACS network and its studies are available at .

Responsibilities include providing input on study design, with opportunities to apply novel causal inference approaches to research questions using longitudinal observational data, drafting analysis plans for study concepts, forms and questionnaire design and review, statistical programming, data analysis, report writing and co-authorship of peer-reviewed manuscripts under the mentorship and supervision of senior staff.
