Outsmarting Human Outsmarting Human Minds (OHM) is a project designed to teach professionals about decision-making in their world of work. The special focus of OHM is to demonstrate how the biases we have about social groups interfere with the various workplace decisions we make as we strive to attain the best talent (recruiting, interviewing, hiring), train and improve performance (evaluations, mentoring, developing interactions with clients and with each other), and retain the best employees (recognition of talent and merit, promotion and compensation). In other words, OHM is designed to teach professionals about all aspects of decision-making involving humans in the workplace.
We are seeking a Digital Imaging and New Media Development Officer with a creative eye and broad ranging technical skills to join the OHM team. The selected candidate will participate in the full developmental life-cycle of the project modules.

Specific responsibilities include:
-
Collaborating with OHM team members to outline each module’s design (and edits to the design of existing modules).
-
Translating scientific findings into intuitive, visually appealing images and other digital and multimedia content (e.g. audio, video, animation) using programs such as Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, HTML, CSS.
-
