More GDS vacancies

I see there are another couple of Government Digital Service job vacancies up for grabs: this time, they're looking for two User Experience Researchers, with a quoted salary range of '£44,300 to £56,000 with potential to rise to £59,000 through performance related pay.'

The lucky winners will be 'responsible for planning, designing and conducting all in-house usability testing sessions for GDS (and departments when relevant) [and] every step in the usability testing process from developing user recruitment briefs through to test moderation, analysis and report writing.'

The jobs are offered as '24 Month Fixed Term Appointment with possibility of extension or permanency.' Closing date for applications is the end of business on Friday 18 November. Once again, you're urged not to fax in your applications, presumably because it isn't 1995 any more.

More details at this laughably long address. Perhaps your first task might be to explore the usability implications of such URL structures. (Clue: #unacceptable.)
