CGHE is looking for an intern to support data analysis for launch of updated online data dashboards and completion of a peer-reviewed manuscript.

*Remote Eligible

Program Background

Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus cause 1.3 million deaths per year and over two million new infections occur annually. Because hepatitis B vaccination, curative therapy for hepatitis C and other interventions can effectively prevent viral hepatitis transmission and mortality, the 2016 World Health Assembly endorsed elimination goals for hepatitis elimination to prevent 7 million deaths by 2030. However, to eliminate hepatitis, access to effective interventions must improve. In 2019, to help countries build effective programs and accelerate progress toward hepatitis elimination, The Task Force for Global Health launched the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE). CGHE builds capacity for hepatitis elimination globally through delivery of technical assistance, knowledge generation and dissemination, and advocacy among partners united in a community of practice. 

Duties and Responsibilities

Under the supervision of the Director of CGHE, Dr. John Ward, and the Assistant Director of CGHE Ms. Lindsey Hiebert, the intern will:

• Analyze hepatitis B and C epidemiological and program data, including from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation
• Assist in management of country data dashboards—extract data from peer-reviewed literature and online databases and import this website
• Contribute to the design and implementation of systematic reviews
• Develop evidence summaries, toolkits, and other resources for elimination programs, i.e. national plan template
• Assist in implementation of technical assistance projects on hepatitis testing with Ministries of Health and community-based organizations
• Conduct data collection and analysis for operational research projects on hepatitis prevention, testing, and treatment
• Write blog posts, scientific manuscripts, or reports, as appropriate, to summarize outcomes and findings from activities
