The Team and Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced User Experience Researcher to join our Human Factors team on a part-time basis .

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.
