The Archives of American Art is constantly improving how our site looks, feels, and functions. User Experience interns will learn how to conduct user experience research and then synthesize findings and best practices to develop innovative and strategic solutions that improve the user experience.
Interns will gain first-hand experience on user experience projects such as usability studies and analytics analyses and will provide assistance to the Digital Experience Manager on UX reports and designing improvements. Interns will learn a variety of skills that will make them desirable candidates in their upcoming web careers such as web analytics, information architecture, wireframing, content management system experience, interface design, HTML, and CSS.
Applications must be submitted through the Smithsonian SOLAA System (solaa.si.edu): select Archives of American Art as the unit, then select "User Experience" as the project.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
