One research fellowship opportunity is currently available in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), in Washington, DC.
The ORISE Fellow will support a range of activities related to the HIV.gov mission to: 1.) expand visibility of timely and relevant Federal HIV policies, programs, and resources to the American public through research on these topics; 2.) increase use of social media and digital tools by government, minority, and other community partners to extend the reach of HIV programs to communities at greatest risk; 3.) support HIV.gov efforts to increase knowledge about HIV and access to HIV services for people most at-risk for, or living with, HIV; and 4.) support HIV.gov efforts to increase greater awareness and foster better understanding of privacy and security issues impacting the HIV community.
The Fellow will be involved in a team environment in the Office of HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Policy, with day-to-day principal mentoring provided by the Director, HIV.gov.
The ORISE Fellow will support ongoing research into:
• Identifying and assessing the best practices related to the use of current social media and digital communications methodologies and technologies to broaden the reach of public health communications, especially in its efforts to target and reach communities of color and those living with, or at risk for, HIV and viral hepatitis.
• Conducting general research activities, including, but not limited to, 1) assessing the use of webinars, and other digital tools and their application to extending the reach of public health communications and reaching target audiences; and 2) emerging privacy and security issues as they impact persons living with HIV or searching for HIV-related information.
• Supporting the drafting of blogs on 1) the use of and best practices related to webinars and other social media and digital tools; and 2) privacy and security issues of relevance to the HIV community.
• Drafting fact sheets and other educational material for internal and external audiences.
• Evaluating and producing reports on 1) HIV.gov’s social media labs and Virtual Office Hours (VOH) sessions and 2) OHAIDP’s use of webinars to recommend process and technical improvements to using this technology to extend the reach of OHAIDP communications.
• Researching the types and ways communities of color, and others living with, or at risk for HIV and viral hepatitis are using emerging digital communications technologies (consumer consumption behaviors and patterns).
The ORISE Fellow will also research and assess the best standards and practices for the use of web-based technologies, such as web sites and webinars, for reaching communities of color and other key target audiences, including best and emerging practices for the use of mobile technologies, the evolving function and relevance of web logs (blogs), the optimal format and methods for presentation and delivery of information, identifying the optimal methods to encourage engagement with public health messaging, and the evolving role, function, and impact of search engines in the potential of disintermediating public health messaging.
