We are seeking someone to manage our user studies and data processing efforts in support for research programs across both initiatives. Ideal candidate will have strong skills in behavioral data collection, experimental and survey research, study participant scheduling, and debriefing. They will also be excellent communicators, knowledgeable about user research, institutional review board procedures, and passionate about human perceptual research. They should also be comfortable in a flat, fast moving organization, excited to collaborate, and focused squarely on impacting audio experiences in AR and VR. They will participate in developing research studies, data collection methods, and data management for a variety of concurrently running studies. Duties will also include ensuring that studies have the appropriate level of research assistant support, overseeing participant recruitment, coordinating facilities and equipment usage, and coordinating with the activities of the larger audio team and research organization.
