I received your e-mail from Mike Kuniavsky, a former PARC colleague.\u00a0 I now work at Nissan Research on Autonomous vehicles, and we have an open job that I would like to make you aware of.\u00a0 It is perhaps not written with a focus on UX, but we are very keen to get UX applicants.\u00a0 If you can pass it on to some of your graduated and graduating students, we would be most grateful.

Posting Description<\/b><\/td>\nResearcher<\/p>\n

We are group of tech-friendly social science researchers embedded in a high-tech development lab for the car of the future. The Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley is a hotbed for thinking about transportation systems, driving, and autonomous vehicles as well as the people that use, intersect with, design, build and bring these systems to life.\u00a0\u00a0We work with a range of technical specialists on the development of autonomous driving systems, with us supplying a strong focus on social, cultural and human dimensions.\u00a0What you might find if you check us out is a lively and driven group of anthropology types and human-centered designers\/engineers doing ethnographic field studies, examing cultural histories and industry trends, developing concepts and designs, or mocking up and testing prototypes.<\/p>\n

We are looking for someone who will bring hands-on technical capability to help bring our research to life in the form of technical concepts, designs, and prototypes. We are especially interested in technically-capable researchers with experience translating qualitative data and research results into system and machine interface concepts and designs. Especially relevant fields of practice include computer engineering, HMI\/HRI\/HCI, and human-centered design. If you are someone with literacy in algorithm construction, capability with programming languages, and exposure to fields like robotics, testing via simulation or agent-based modeling, but also have a passion for people and an undying curiosity in examining social and cultural meanings, we\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
