Wilmington PrEP Education Graduate Assistant, Fall 2026

University of Delaware • Newark, DE

9d • Hybrid

About The Position

“Seeing Wilmington in PrEP Educational Materials” is a collaborative Fall 2026 print and digital project undertaken through a partnership between the University of Delaware and AIDS Delaware. The project will use research on HIV/AIDS activist history and decades of outreach to inform a set of educational materials about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis, a primary tool of HIV prevention) that reflect the demographic range and lived experiences of Wilmington residents. Extending from AIDS Delaware’s 40+ years of caring for and educating people living with HIV and people at risk of exposure to HIV, this project seeks to recognize the various identities of the people that AIDS Delaware serves and to create educational materials in which all Wilmington residents see themselves. Funded by a 2026 Wilmington Partnership mini-grant, the project will create two short (2- 3 minute) educational videos and design and print 200 copies each of three educational flyers and postcards that reflect AIDS Delaware’s client base and the geographic context of Wilmington. We seek two graduate assistants who will work a total of 40 hours each at $25 an hour between August - December 2026 (about three hours per week during the semester, including periodic meetings via Zoom and in-person).
