The Community Outreach Intervention Projects (COIP) at UIC School of
Public Health is hiring part-time hourly facilitators for a new research
study titled “Preventing HIV/AIDS Among Teens in Juvenile Justice (PHAT
Life).” The PHAT Life study is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial of a
uniquely-tailored intervention designed for juvenile offenders on
probation. The program will teach teens about HIV/AIDS, sexually
transmitted infections, and safer decision-making.
Facilitators will be trained to team-teach the 8-session (2-week) PHAT
Life intervention with small groups of youth (ages 13 to 17).
Intervention programs will occur Monday through Thursday from 5:00-7:00
pm during the school year and from 10:00am-12:00pm during the summer
months. Facilitators should expect to teach one 2-week program every 1-2
months. Job responsibilities will begin during the month of May. PHAT
Life is a 5-year grant and facilitation opportunities will continue for
the next 3-4 years. Applicants must be willing to commit at least 9
months to the project.
Facilitator position is open to graduate students, recent graduates, and
individuals with experience working with youth and/or high risk
populations. Salary commensurate with experience. Sorry, no tuition
wavers are available.
For fullest consideration, please email a cover letter, and CV/resume,
