Open Positions

The Editorial Board is seeking volunteers for positions noted as vacant, above. If you are interested, please send a note of your interest along with a brief CV to Nigel Bevan <Editor [at] usabilitybok.org>.

1. Design Topics Co-editor (one position). This role requires someone with a wide knowledge of usability design topics to share responsibility for the final content.

2. Managing UX Topics Editor(s) (one or two positions). This role requires knowledge and experience forming or guiding usability/UX groups within companies or consultancies, to begin coordinating content about management and professional practices.

3. Topics Coordinators (two positions): Work with the Section Editors to coordinate contributions by authors and reviewers of content on the draft wiki. Familiarity with usability is needed, however these roles do not require in-depth knowledge in any specific area. As these roles require regular communication with topic authors and reviewers, we may appoint two people to work together in each role. The responsibilities of the Coordinators will include collating suggestions for new content and topics ready for review, creating Doodle polls listing the topics, allocating topics to people who respond, and once content is complete, passing it to the Editors for final approval.
