<div><body>What You'll DoRole description and overviewYaqeen Institute for Islamic Research creates research papers, articles, videos, ebooks and learning curricula for Muslims around the world, from people exploring faith to educators and community leaders who share our work. We’re looking for a UX/UI researcher to help our product teams understand how people discover, use and value these products, and to bring that understanding into how we design and improve them. The first project focuses on our free library of English-language ebooks. Our last in-depth study of these readers was in 2024, and reading habits and search tools, including AI assistants, have changed a lot since then. A reader survey is already running, and this project goes deeper through one-on-one interviews. You will own the study end to end, from research questions to synthesis. Your findings will shape the library’s product roadmap and help Yaqeen measure the value it creates for readers.
