About this role
Swedish Speaker Study Participant - NYC, $1,200-1,600
Mindrift is running a research study on how people use their phones, apps and everyday digital tools, and how that differs across languages and cultures. We’re looking for native Swedish speakers in New York to join a paid, 3-day in-person study in Midtown Manhattan.
Why your language matters
Most technology is still designed with English speakers in mind. This study helps researchers understand how people who communicate in Swedish actually use their devices, so future products work better for them.
What you’ll do
-
You will spend 1-3 days with our research team in Midtown Manhattan. You will walk us through how you use your phone and favourite apps in daily life. You will share examples of your everyday phone activity with the research team. You decide what’s included. You will fill in a short questionnaire about your habits.

Who we’re looking for
-
You are 18+ and currently living in NYC. You are a native Swedish speaker who grew up in Sweden. You use Swedish in everyday life: texting friends, email, notes. You’ve used a smartphone as your main personal phone for 3+ years. You are comfortable communicating in English. You are available for 3 consecutive days (Mon–Wed or Thu–Sat), starting October 16 on Friday. You are not currently employed by a tech or AI company.
-
Great fit for international students, people new to NYC, and anyone between jobs or with a flexible schedule.
Compensation
$1,200–$1,600 for the full study.
Participation is voluntary and covered by a signed consent form that explains exactly what’s involved. You can ask questions at any point and stop whenever you like.
