Summer Usability Internships at Microsoft
The Microsoft Usability Group, in Redmond, WA, have several internship
positions starting in late May or June for graduate students in
human-computer interaction. The internship program term is about 12 weeks
and offers competitive salary, benefits, and travel expense reimbursement.
For more information about Microsoft's general internship program or
internships in other areas of Microsoft, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/college/ <http://www.microsoft.com/college/>
Other intern positions will be available in September and January.
Usability interns will work with our usability engineers on product design
issues and usability evaluation. We apply user-centered design and usability
engineering methods on a range of software solutions for the home and
office, ranging from operating systems, programming tools and client/server
systems to game, multimedia, and Internet content products. You will assist
product teams in defining customer needs, conducting usability studies, and
researching interface issues. While we attempt to match your assignments
with your interests, our goal is to provide you with the experience of
working in a fast-paced, applied research and design setting.
REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited Masters or Ph.D.
degree program in Psychology, Human Factors, Industrial Engineering,
Computer Science or related discipline, with a PRIMARY focus on
human-computer interaction. Applicants must have knowledge of HCI research
and design guidelines as well as strong skills in research design and
qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Creative energy, initiative,
teamwork skills, and excellent written and oral communication skills are
essential. U.S. citizenship or visa status that permits work in the U.S. is
required.
TO APPLY: Send your resume, a brief statement of your objectives in
applying a Microsoft internship to your educational goals, and a letter of
recommendation from your graduate advisor. Apply by March 12th for a late
May start date (Since many universities have variable vacation schedules,
specific start dates are negotiable.) Send your application to:
