The Projecting Age, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy (PEARL, www.PEARLHIVmodel.org) modeling team is looking for a Programmer Analyst to help us maintain and expand the PEARL model. PEARL is an object-oriented computer simulation model built in Python, representing people living with HIV and receiving care in the United States. The model is informed by data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV surveillance and the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD). The PEARL model has projected the age and comorbidity distribution among adults with HIV to the year 2030 in the United States. A complete description of PEARL and associated published papers can be found at www.PEARLHIVmodel.org.
The Programmer Analyst will join a team of data managers, biostatisticians, and epidemiologists who work on both the PEARL and NA-ACCORD teams and use data to help execute study aims and hypotheses. The analyst will also be the primary programmer for the PEARL model, tasked with model maintenance, tinkering, and expansion over time (i.e., running custom analyses using the simulation models, tracking task completion and workflow, documenting the code, managing new expansions according to the project aims, debugging the program, and contributing to scientific products that disseminate the findings of the model). Competitive applicants will bring methodologic ideas as PEARL continues to grow the impact of the output on HIV program and policy decision-making in the United States.
