Dear CHIWOS BC Community Advisory Board,

I hope this email finds you all well.

Our BC CHIWOS Team has enjoyed a busy start to 2013! I'm happy to share
that we are *officially transitioning to the second phase of CHIWOS, the
national survey phase,* where we plan to enroll 350 women living with HIV from
across British Columbia into our study beginning in May 2013.

In anticipation of roll-out in May, we are now *initiating a hiring process
to bring an additional 4-6 Peer Research Associates (PRAs)* onto our
existing PRA team. In our study, PRAs are women living with HIV who are
hired and trained as researchers on our core study team, and who have
experiences and identities in common with the study participants that they
will recruit and interview.

PRAs will receive training in research methods, privacy and
confidentiality, administering interviews, the CHIWOS survey, computer
literacy, participant support, and self care. After training, PRAs will
interview study participants over an 18-month period across BC’s five
regional health authorities and the Oak Tree Clinic in Vancouver, and will
be based in or around Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, or Prince
George.

*Please see attached for the job description and accompanying application
form*. All candidates are asked to complete and submit the attached
application form via email, mail or fax to myself (contact details are
below and attached). Applicants may also attach and submit a resume,
although this is optional. *The deadline for applications is February 15th,
2013*.

*If you could circulate this job posting to your various networks far and
wide, that would be very much appreciated.* We would also like to thank, in
advance, all applicants who take the time to submit an application for
these positions. We are grateful for your interest in this study and your
commitment to these issues.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, and
have a great weekend.

Best,
Allie
