MeasuringU is a user experience research firm focusing on the statistical analysis of human behavior and quantifying the user experience. We operate a full service UX research lab in Denver, Colorado complete with observation rooms, a suite of remote-moderated software platforms, and our own proprietary UX focused survey platform (MUIQ) for unmoderated studies.

UX Researcher - Contract Position

We are looking for a UX Researcher to join our team in Denver, Colorado. This is not a remote position as we conduct a significant amount of in-person testing in our labs.

This is a temporary position that we would like to fill through the summer of 2024.

The UX researcher will help conduct moderated and unmoderated usability tests and assist with everything in the UX research process from designing studies and moderating user interviews to analyzing data and reporting results. You will work side-by-side with experienced researchers in a fast-paced client environment, where communication, team work, and prioritization are key skills.

Activities and Responsibilities

• Usability Testing: Help conduct in-person and remote evaluations of users attempting tasks on websites or with software in our lab in Denver. This requires a heavy emphasis on thorough communication with colleagues, clients, and participants; interpersonal skills; detailed note taking; and troubleshooting technology.
• Analyze Survey and Usability Data: We're looking for someone who loves working with and making sense of data. We’re known for generating industry leading reports, analysis, and insights. You don’t have to be a math guru, just willing to learn some core statistics, Excel functions, and methods. An analytical or quantitative background is a plus.
• Help Conduct Surveys: We continually conduct studies for clients and our own research every week. We’re looking for someone who can program surveys (or learn quickly how to), and who can troubleshoot software.
• Report Creation: As a client agency, it's our job to clearly communicate our findings to our clients in a way that is both engaging and digestible. Help distill insights from our research and build presentations that beautifully and effectively communicate those results.

Who Should Apply

We are interested in both entry level and experienced candidates, but it is important to have the following skills:

• Thorough question asking and note taking skills
• Ability to quickly grasp new situations, synthesize large amounts of information quickly, and find answers
• Highly self-motivated and able to work with little supervision
• Excellent interpersonal communication skills
• Strong skills in Excel and PowerPoint
• General stats knowledge (don't need to be an expert)
• Excellent writing skills, especially an ability to communicate complex concepts
• Experience with an online survey tool (e.g., Qualtrics, UserTesting, Surveymonkey), including making surveys, cleaning data, and analyzing results
• Agency or client experience a plus
• [Preferred] Strong quantitative skills and an analytic/technical propensity
• [Preferred] Experience conducting research interviews
• [Preferred] Background in user experience, market research, psychology, statistics, or related fields a plus

This is not a remote position, as we do have a need for our researchers to conduct some in-person moderated sessions.

If you're interested, please provide an updated resume. We also strongly recommend including a cover letter with what interests you about this position and why you are a good fit.
