DESCRIPTION:

The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the
University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, MA is seeking a
programmer/designer for a half-time (20 hours/week), non-benefitted position
with flexible hours.

This Instructional Technologist position involves all phases of design and
implementation including analysis of user needs as well as design,
programming and implementation of technology and curriculum projects.

This position is available immediately. Duties will include:
* Content updates on the web site and perhaps work on a site-wide redesign
* Design and implementation of email newsletters and marketing bulletins via
Constant Contact 
* Design of postcards, flyers, brochures, and PowerPoint presentations
* Editing of photos and videos

The ideal candidate for this position would have a strong background in:

1) Graphic design including the creation of web sites, email newsletters,
and print pieces such as brochures, flyers, and postcards. Experience with
Adobe Creative Suite Software (especially Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and
InDesign) and Microsoft Office software is essential.

2) Online communications including social media, distance learning, and
audio/video conferencing.

3) Web programming including HTML and JavaScript. While the web site is
hosted in a content management system, the applicant must be able to adjust
web page formatting by directly editing HTML code.

4) Online marketing including email campaigns via Constant Contact, ad
campaigns using Google Adwords, and the creation of web-based course
registration and/or e-commerce forms that integrate code from online payment
systems (such as PayPal or Google Checkout).

In order to understand the work of our organization and make appropriate
choices in design and programming tasks, it would be most helpful if the
applicant had a personal meditation practice.

The applicant must be able to handle several simultaneous projects and work
both cooperatively and independently. Attention to detail, ability to meet
deadlines, and a professional approach are essential.


To apply:
Applications for this position must be submitted online through the UMass
Medical School Human Resources Department website. Applications and resumes
submitted directly to the Center for Mindfulness will not accepted. A link
to the official job description and application form on the UMass Medical
School Human Resources web site is available on this web page:
