communicate effectively with faculty and graduate students.

Not only should you enjoy designing functional interpretive scholarly
interfaces, but you should enjoy working in close collegial
partnership with teammates and scholarly stake holders to solve
problems in software engineering and the digital humanities. You will
need to fit into a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment where
technology enables creative vision and where you can take good
advantage of the time that all Scholars' Lab and Department of Digital

professional development and their own (often collaborative) R&D
projects. The Scholars' Lab has been awarded major funding for a

with a strong desire for innovation
- Experience as a project manager or technical team leader on scholarly projects
- Experience with user-centered design patterns and methodologies
- Experience running user testing and conducting accessibility testing
- Comfort with complexity and ambiguity, and the challenges of the
humanities and social sciences
- Advanced understanding of UI client technologies such as Javascript,
AJAX, HTML, CSS, etc.
- Creation of standard UX deliverables: Site maps, Process flows,
Personas, Use Cases, Concept Models
- Strong presentation and communication skills
- Expertise in current design tools
- A research agenda related to the user experience of digital
humanities and social science projects.

Education:

Masters Degree in Humanities or Social Sciences

Experience:

3 years experience.

Salary and Benefits:

qualifications. This position has general faculty status with

retirement plans.
