Job Description
Join Nexus Future Labs as we pioneer the next wave of human-computer interaction for 2026. We seek a visionary Quantum UX Research Lead to decode emerging behavioral patterns in quantum computing interfaces. This hybrid role blends neuroscience, AI ethics, and predictive analytics to shape how humanity interacts with tomorrow's technologies. You'll lead a cross-disciplinary team in Austin's fastest-growing tech corridor, driving research that defines industry standards for the quantum decade.
Our Austin campus features neuro-labs, quantum simulators, and immersive VR environments where your insights will directly influence product roadmaps for Fortune 500 clients. This is more than a UX role—it's your chance to architect the future of human-machine symbiosis.
Responsibilities
- Design and conduct longitudinal neuro-behavioral studies on quantum computing interfaces using fNIRS and eye-tracking
- Develop predictive models for user adaptation to quantum algorithmic outputs using machine learning
- Lead ethical frameworks for AI-human interaction protocols in quantum environments
- Collaborate with quantum physicists to translate complex computational processes into intuitive UX patterns
- Mentor a team of 5+ researchers in emerging neuroscience methodologies
- Present findings to C-suite executives and product boards with data-driven visualizations
- Publish industry whitepapers on quantum UX paradigms
Qualifications
- PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Human-Computer Interaction, or Quantum Psychology
- 5+ years leading UX research in emerging tech environments (quantum/AI/metaverse)
- Proficiency in quantum computing interface development tools (Qiskit, Cirq)
- Published research in Nature Human Behaviour or ACM Digital Library
- Experience with fNIRS, EEG, and biometric data analysis
- Portfolio demonstrating 3+ quantum UX projects with measurable impact
- Fluency in Python, R, and quantum machine learning frameworks
- Certified in Quantum Ethics (QEC) or equivalent
