Looking for a junior remote usability analyst
Remote usability testing is becoming a very hot topic at the moment, and we are looking for a junior analyst to join our team, mainly doing remote user research, using our tool Webnographer. http://www.webnographer.com/
What makes remote usability testing so exciting is that it reaches a broader range of people and ages. We have even had a 89 year old helping in our research.
Another aspect that makes the remote research a fascinating quest is the phenomenon of context collapse. Users behave very differently when they are alone, than when a researcher looks them over the shoulder.
This role is a great opportunity for you to apply creative and analytical skills to the user research field. Creativity and knowledge of different methods is required for the study design.
You will be working collaboratively with the research, marketing and technology departments of our clients to design studies all over the world, and then analysing the results, and presenting the findings back to them.
There will be a steep learning curve as "remote" is very different than normal usability testing.
You don't need to know anything about remote usability testing yet, but a strong interest in Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Linguistics, or Behavioural Economics will be an advantage.
The location of work will be Hastings in East Sussex, UK for the intense training period, with the potential to work remotely once the training is completed.
If you are interested email me at jobs@feralabs.com with your CV and cover letter, including descriptions of research projects you have been involved in.
