SUMMARY

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Office of AIDS (OA) is recruiting an outstanding candidate to serve as Program Coordinator for an important new HIV prevention activity.

The Program Coordinator will work on the HIV C-CORE team to provide robust evaluation and development of HIV cluster detection and response activities in the State of California.

Cluster detection and response is a strategy to use public health data to identify communities affected by rapid HIV transmission.

CDPH and their partners then aim to address gaps in prevention and care at individual, network, and systems levels.

This HIV C-CORE team works to develop best practices in cluster detection and response as well as methods to evaluate outcomes of this work.

This team is responsible for coordinating, presenting and reporting cluster detection and response activities to local partners, stakeholders, and federal partners including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Program Coordinator under the direction of the Outbreak and Field Investigation Unit Chief will monitor and coordinate statewide CDR activities, including reviewing cluster data, creating exposure events, and coordinating ongoing cluster response activities.

The Program Coordinator works closely with the evaluation team, cluster intervention team, and leadership to develop and adapt CDR processes and promising practices.

The Program Coordinator also works collaboratively with managers and staff within the Office of AIDS (OA), the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Branch (STDCB) and external stakeholders to support outbreak response needs, contribute to reports, policies, procedures, and tools that contribute to CDR.

All CDPH employees perform work that is of the utmost importance, where each employee is important in supporting and promoting an environment of equity, diversity, and inclusivity, essential to the delivery of the department’s mission.

All employees are valued and should understand that their contributions and the contributions of their team members derive from different cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences, supporting innovations in public health services and programs for California.

This position supports the CDPH mission and strategic plan by advancing health equity and strategic planning goals and objectives and to promote recognition and reduction of the burden of infection among California’s most vulnerable populations through changes in workplace culture and practice.

This is a temporary, grant-funded, full-time, benefitted position.

This position is funded through July 2025 with the possibility to extend through 2029.
