GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS at S.labs, Bangalore

We have few Two-year fellowships available for deserving and outstanding
graduates who want to develop hands-on experience with multidisciplinary
innovation, design thinking, business thinking and a capability of managing
such design innovation work with external clients. As part of this
fellowship, you will spend approximately 50% of your time on client or labs

research areas and 20% on career development. Your responsibilities will
include but not be limited to developing user and design research plan,
conducting research and converting the research findings into actionable
insights, discovering, interpreting and communicating design insights and
opportunities, and contributing to all phases of design, planning
validation research to help determine how interested both the customers and
line-of-business end users are in the planned product capabilities, and to
refine design constraints for delivering compelling user experiences. A
critical element of these roles is to deliver insights – verbally and
visually - in a way that generates empathy, emotion, and engagement from
the overall team and our clients. Candidates must have strong presenting,
verbal and written skills.

design fields such as industrial design, business design, visual design,

to push design methodologies. Must be prepared to plan and immerse into
user research to discover insights first hand.
