Wellesley Institute is looking for a skilled, experienced, creative, efficient graphic designer to help complete a exhibit project due at the end of the summer. The Wellesley Institute is a research and policy institute that works to improve population health through finding policy solutions to the social determinants of health. We do work in housing, on income inequality, and health equity, for example. The project will consist of large poster/panel pieces, with some chart design, some icons, some graphics and other illustrations and ways to organize and convey statistical material for a popular audience in an engaging way. 

The bulk of the project work is expected to be completed in July and August, with some consulting in June. The compensation is a flat rate, with some flexibility if the work goes over the anticipated amount of hours. The designer will also be expected to help the project manager liaise with a printer for the final set up and presentation of the project. 

Please send your resumes and a link to your portfolio to Jo Snyder jo@wellesleyinstitute.com. Please feel free to send in any questions you may have about the project. We will do our best to answer them quickly.

The Wellesley Institute is an equal opportunity employer.

Deadline for applicants is May 28, 2012 12:00 p.m.
