We have started the organisational work for the next Season of Usability which will happen in Summer 2008. Currently, we are looking for usability mentors.

To apply for a mentorship, please see the full job description on the Season of Usability website.

From the Job Description

Each student is supervised by two mentors - a usability and a technical mentor. While the technical mentor represents the FLOSS project and makes sure that the direction of the usability input meets the project goals, the usability mentor coaches the student usability-wise.

Apart from methodological and creative advice, this includes a mediating role: On the one side, the student needs to be supported to better understand the project goals. On the other side, the technical mentor needs to gain an understanding of the usability process.

Your Requirements

Usability practitioners. You should have a minimum of one or two years of work experience.

University employees. You should have an advanced university degree (preferably PhD).

Your benefits

Showcases. As it is FLOSS, the products of your mentoring work are open source as well. You are free to use them as public show cases.

Publication. Your work will be presented as a success story at the Season of Usability website.

Publicity. Your company will be presented as a Season of Usability mentoring organisation.
