The Team and Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced User Experience Researcher to join our Human Factors team on a part-time basis . This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial, highly driven person with a well-rounded skill set to join the Human Factors team, whose responsibilities extend beyond those of traditional Human Factors professionals. The ideal person for this role will need to have not only a strong grasp of, and experience with, UX research, but also be flexible and a strategic thinker able to take on a variety of tasks, including project management and client lead development. You should be able to perform these tasks somewhat autonomously and with little need for guidance. No guarantee can be made for the number of hours you would be requested to support the team in this role, which can range from zero to 40 in a given week, may spare out some months entirely, and may fully occupy other months.

The Human Factors team performs a variety of studies related to product use-related health, safety, usability, and user experience, by bringing to bear methodologies from basic science, such as eye tracking, physiological data recording, or motion capture. You will help in operationalizing client needs as empirical research questions, designing bespoke studies around those research questions, collecting data from participants using a wealth of custom-tailored methodologies, analyzing data in creative ways, and translating the results back into actionable outcomes for our clients. As a consultant, your experiences will be as varied and diverse as the products and services out there, possibly spanning automotive, medical, pharma, consumer electronics, appliances, heavy machinery, child products, and extended reality products.

Please submit an academic CV, rather than a resume, unless you are a candidate with industry experience.

Job Responsibilities
