Design and Usability Consultant

+ + +

Rhizome.org, a non-profit organization focused on new media art, is seeking
a Design and Usability Consultant. The Consultant will work closely with the
Content Coordinator to help plan new site features: Your responsibilities
will be to help define a rich, intuitive user experience, and produce
deliverables using HTML and CSS. The Consultant is not responsible for
website programming.

Our priorities are ease-of-use, functionality, and the definition of clear,
simple categories for use by producers and consumers of online content. The
ability to create a flashy or embellished interface is not important, though
an eye for a uniform and lively arrangement of site elements is. Candidates
will be consulting on pages used to publish, read, search and syndicate
content to the site. Familiarity with contemporary online community
technologies (del.icio.us, Craigslist, blogs, etc.) is a plus.

This position allows for off-site work, but candidates need to be in
commuting distance of New York for frequent short meetings.

To apply, please email your detailed cover letter and resume by February 25
to Kevin McGarry at [email protected]. Interviews will be held the week of
February 28 in New York.
