Funny title, cool job.

NPR is looking for someone to be a Senior User Experience Architect, someone to identify and articulate the needs, goals and requirements that guide NPR Digital Media.

In its JournalismJobs.com job listing, NPR editors said the successful candidate will be asked to translate the goals of NPR Digital Media into “workflow, interaction models, design concepts and prototypes that form the basis of the overall user experience. Assigned projects typically include user experience design, technology, product/business, and editorial components and may be oriented toward internal or external users and stakeholders.”

NPR Digital Life page gives you a good idea of projects in the works recently.
