Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Royal College of Art Full time

_**Please note this opportunity is open to RCA graduates only (due to funding).**_

Founded in 1837, the Royal College of Art is the world’s largest community of postgraduate art and design students. It is also the oldest art and design university in continuous operation and has been ranked as the world ‘s number 1 art & design university for a remarkable nine consecutive years, according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023 - the largest world-wide survey of academic and industry opinion.

This role will be a great opportunity for a Designer to use their skills and expertise to help the Design Age Institute deliver one of its 16 Pathfinder Projects whilst embarking on its mission; to become the National Strategic Unit for Design and the Healthy Ageing Economy. We want to reduce health and social care costs, welfare, and extend working life for an ageing population through the power of design.

This role is not a typical ‘Designer in Residence’, but a designer working for the Design Age Institute located within the UK’s National Innovation Centre for Ageing in Newcastle - one of the core partners of the Design Age Institute. Under the local guidance of the NICA’s directors, the designer will work closely with the team at NICA with oversight from the DAI Design Management team at the RCA.

The project is to undertake user research and produce design proposals for better, more inclusive interfaces for ‘kiosk’ digital interfaces which may include, but not be limited to, parking metres, car charging points, travel ticket machines, check-in machines, check-out machines, etc. The project will build upon existing insights pertained by both NICA and the DAI’s research team, addressing both the digital divide and interface design. The Designer is required to assess and develop a novel approach to digital interface design to promote and improve user experience, successful task completion, intuition, safety and reassurance etc. in the older population. The Designer is also required to consider methodologies of engagement of the target demographic to stimulate ideas and feedback. Further information can be found in the Design Brief annexed to this job description.
