Business and Science Writers Incorporated (BSW), which provides technical-writing services to leading companies in Minnesota's growing high-tech sector, has a great opportunity for an about-to-graduate or recent graduate of the scientific and technical communication program at the University of Minnesota (or other well-respected technical-writing program).

Our client is a rapidly expanding start-up company that sells leading-edge analytical equipment to universities, research institutes, and Fortune 500 companies around the world, allowing them to turn extracted deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into specific gene sequences in a matter of hours. Your function, as a BSW employee working on-site with our client, is to take charge of the writing portion of the grant-application process. The client's Director of Scientific Operations is responsible for locating suitable granting agencies, so no previous grant-writing experience is required, but you must have the following skills and capabilities.

You must have excellent writing skills, which an essential requirement for the job.

You must have your own vehicle and be willing to travel out of town almost every week. This, too, is an essential requirement for the job.

You must be able to meet agreed project deadlines.

You must have good interviewing skills, so you can draw the needed information out of subject-matter experts in various disciplines. A science background would be helpful but is not required, as BSW's president, Dr. David Gardner, will help you understand the client's engineers and scientists.

Ability to multi-task and work well in a dynamic, team-oriented environment where priorities sometimes change.

In the first instance you would be an employee of BSW, but after you have proven yourself to the client, you have the option of becoming a full-time employee of the client company. As a result, this trial-for-hire position is a great opportunity for a recent graduate who wants to "get in on the ground floor" with a growing company in the genetic engineering field.

If you are interested in this position, please contact Dr. David Gardner, president of Business and Science Writers, who looks forward to hearing from you. Initial phone enquiries are welcome, or you can email a resume, letter of interest, and any other information you consider relevant (such as brief writing samples) to

Demand for The Nerdery's User Experience Design services has exploded. To meet this demand, we've developed a UX designer apprenticeship program and we're actively seeking our first two apprentices. The goal of this program is to provide a path into UX design to those with the raw materials to be a great designer but who lack experience within the field. Apprentices selected for the program will develop their skills through focused, real-world work experience, close mentoring, and detailed tracking of their development. (For additional details on how this program works, see this handy blog post: http://blog.nerdery.com/2013/02/user-experience-design-apprenticeship/)

We expect apprentices to have significant knowledge about UX design methods around user research, information architecture, interaction design, and usability evaluation. However, we do not expect apprentices to have much if any experience using these methods. Apprentices will develop skill in these methods through training, mentorship, and hands-on work.

To apply for the program, please attach your resume to the online application in PDF format and provide us with a link to an online portfolio of any interactive or design work you've done. We don't expect apprentices to have a UX portfolio, but we do need to be able to see how you solve problems. Your portfolio can contain anything from unsolicited redesigns of sites you've done on your own or coursework from UX-related educational programs to freelance work.

Requirements:

-0 years of UX experience
-Broad familiarity with UX research & design methods
-Ability to learn complex things quickly
-Curiosity about people
-A degree of aptitude & familiarity with technology
-Think critically and creatively while maintaining close attention to detail
-Communicate clearly and concisely through written, verbal, and visual means
-Passionate about solving technology problems for people

Educational Requirements:

While we strongly prefer graduates of UX focused undergraduate & graduate programs (e.g., interaction design, information architecture, or human-computer interaction), formal education in UX design is not a requirement.

Nerdery Assessment Test

Applicants who progress beyond the first interview will be given a NAT tailored to their discipline. Applicants spend upwards to 10 hours on their NAT. Ace your NAT and you'll get our attention.

Nerd Perks:

-Developer-oriented workplace; work on a variety of compelling, challenging projects surrounded by nerdy supergeniuses
