Human Factors And Ergonomics

During the period from November 1995 through October 1996, the Placement Service of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society distributed announcements describing 195 positions available for human factors engineers and ergonomics professionals. This paper describes placement opportunities for HFE and ergonomics professionals in industry, government/military and consulting positions (N=162), while an overview of all advertised positions, and a description of academic (N=8) and internship positions (N=25) is provided in Part I (Moroney, Proulx & Parker, 1997). The attributes of the position descriptions examined include: degree requirements, major field of study, industrial sector, areas of expertise, required work experience, salary, geographic location, job description and skills required. Fifty-seven percent of the positions describe the masters degree as the minimum requirement, with 18% of the opportunities in the consulting sector. The area of expertise most frequently requested (69%) was HCI, with test and evaluation (specifically usability testing) being specified for 44% of the positions. The most frequently cited (35%) primary area of responsibility was interface design.

Society Annual

We examined aerospace systems research trends in papers published in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting from 1980 to 2012. We categorized articles based on authors’ affiliation type, content area, population, sample size, apparatus, and nature and specification of outcome dependent variables. Our results, available at http://erg.sagepub.com/supplemental , revealed an increase in research interests related to cognition and pilot–cockpit systems interface design. Our findings are intended to guide students, educators, and researchers by providing an analysis of these trends and a searchable online database.
