The user-interface research group at U S WEST Advanced Technologies anticipates having a one-year job opening for a graduate student intern or post-doc. The intern would participate in a project whose goals are to make communication services useful for and usable by the general public. Specifically, the intern would participate in the design, prototyping, and testing of innovative user interfaces for potential products and services, with a focus on speech-recognition technology. We are looking for a graduate student or recent Ph.D. in one of the human-computer interaction fields (computer science, psychology, ...). A candidate should have experience with user-interface design methods and with user testing. S/he should be familiar with computer tools and environments such as Unix, Macintosh, and/or the IBM PC. The candidate should have good communication skills, both oral and written. Familiarity with telephone-based services and/or speech recognition is a plus. U S WEST is the regional telephone company that covers most of the western part of the United States, except for California and Nevada. Advanced Technologies is a subsidiary that does research and development for all of U S WEST. The job will be located in a suburb of Denver, Colorado. This position will probably be available from June 1990 until May 1991. Note that we are firm about the position going away after a year. It is a replacement for an existing employee who will be on rotation in another group, but who will return to his job after the year is over.
