Events Assistant Data Collection for Research Project

Job Description

Fashion Innovation Agency (FIA)

Fashion Innovation Agency (FIA) is a small, dynamic 'Research & Knowledge Exchange' team based at London College of Fashion, exploring how emerging technologies are shaping the future of fashion. We are currently running user testing for a UKRI-funded Proof of Concept project investigating transmedia storytelling in fashion marketing - how Gen Z audiences respond to campaign content across video, mixed reality and virtual reality. Participants move from watching a campaign video to stepping into that world through immersive headsets, before completing a short survey on their experience.

We are looking for an Events Assistant to support this testing phase. The selected candidate will receive a full project briefing and hands-on experience of cutting-edge immersive content, first-hand exposure to a UKRI-funded research project, time working alongside the FIA team, and a great addition to your CV.

Dates: 22nd July to 31st July (Monday-Friday)

Hours: 11am to 4pm (5 hours/day)

Key Responsibilities

You'll be fully briefed on the project and will try all three content formats yourself before taking on the role. Day to day, you'll:

Approach students, staff and visitors around East Bank (and potentially outside the college) to invite them to take part in the research
Direct or escort interested participants to the FIA testing room
Explain what the experience involves and answer participants' questions
Help participants put on and adjust VR/mixed reality headsets
Hand out iPads and guide participants through the post-experience survey
Make sure each participant tries all three formats and completes the survey before leaving
Support the FIA team with general data-collection logistics throughout testing
