What is a part-time user researcher?

A part-time user researcher is a professional who studies how people use products or services, typically working fewer hours than a full-time position. They gather insights through interviews, surveys, usability tests, and observations to help companies improve their products and user experiences. Part-time user researchers often collaborate with design, product, and development teams, but have flexible schedules or reduced workloads compared to full-time roles. This job is ideal for those seeking work-life balance or supplementing other commitments while contributing valuable research expertise.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part-time user researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time User Researcher, you need a solid understanding of research methodologies, data analysis, and user-centered design, often supported by a degree in psychology, HCI, or a related field. Familiarity with tools like UserTesting, Optimal Workshop, and analytics platforms, as well as experience in conducting interviews and usability tests, is typically required. Strong communication, adaptability, and empathy help you connect with participants and collaborate effectively with design and product teams. These skills enable you to generate actionable insights that directly improve user experience and product success.

How does a part-time user researcher typically collaborate with product and design teams?

Part-time user researchers often work closely with product managers and designers to prioritize research initiatives and communicate user insights. Despite working fewer hours, they are expected to coordinate key research activities, such as usability testing or user interviews, within tight project timelines. Effective collaboration usually involves regular check-ins, sharing findings in accessible formats, and being proactive in aligning research goals with team objectives. This collaborative approach ensures user feedback is integrated into product decisions, even when the researcher is not present full-time.

Job description

Join our Mission to Protect Humankind!
Vaxcyte is a clinical-stage vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect humankind from the consequences of bacterial diseases, which have serious and costly health consequences when left unchecked. Working to eradicate or treat bacterial infections such as invasive pneumococcal disease, Group A Strep, and Shigella is just the beginning. Our path to success is clear and well-defined, and Vaxcyte is set up to go the distance.
WHAT we do is every bit as important as HOW we do it! Our work together is guided by four enduring core values:
*RETHINK CONVENTION: We bring creative and intellectual diversity to every facet of the work we do in order to innovate and re-innovate the way vaccines are delivered.
*AIM HIGH: We embody our collectively audacious goal to courageously make the most complex biologics ever attempted to protect humankind.
*LEAD WITH HEART: Everyone leads at Vaxcyte with a kindness-first, inclusive approach to collaboration and vigorous debate that advances our business objectives.
*MODEL EXCELLENCE: The magnitude of our challenge requires our shared commitment to demonstrating integrity, accountability, equality and clarity across communications and decision making.

  • Bot Development: Design and prototype an AI-powered chatbot to support Legal and Compliance functions (e.g., FAQs, SOP references, or workflow routing).
  • Legal Dashboard Enhancements: Enhance the existing Legal Dashboard using Box AI and related integrations to improve automation, visibility, and user experience.
  • Tool Evaluation: Research, evaluate, and recommend emerging AI tools and products; schedule and participate in demos; provide post-demo analysis and recommendations.
  • Implementation Support: Assist with tool rollout, user onboarding, and training materials for Legal, Compliance, and other stakeholders.
  • Continuous Exploration: Identify and scope new AI use cases within Legal and related functions, collaborating with IT and Operations as needed.
  • AI Tool Integration: Support implementation and optimization of existing Legal AI tools such as Spellbook and CoCounsel to ensure full functionality and adoption across teams.
  • System Connectivity: Collaborate with IT to integrate and connect AI tools and software applications, enabling seamless read-only and action-based access across platforms.
Requirements:
  • Enrolled in an MS or PhD program pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, AI or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of generative AI concepts (e.g., open-source small LLMs, MCPRAG and API integrations).
  • Excellent communication and analytical skills.
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into practical applications for non-technical teams.
  • Experience using or configuring AI tools such as Box AI, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, or similar platforms is preferred.
  • Prior exposure to automation tools or workflow design (e.g., Power Automate, Zapier, or custom bots) is preferred.
  • Demonstrated project management or client-facing experience (internships count!) is preferred.
