Academy Content Creator (Consultant)

Location: Flexible

We are looking for Content Creators to help develop high-quality educational material for Quantum EDGE Academy (QEA). QEA is QuantrolOx’s new training platform focused on the practical aspects of quantum computing, with courses covering concepts such as cryogenic systems, RF measurement chains, device characterisation, and qubit control.

This is a flexible consulting role, suited to individuals with a strong physics background and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. While experience in education (e.g. teaching or course development) is desirable, it is not essential if you can demonstrate strong communication skills and a clear, structured approach to explaining technical concepts.

We are open to two engagement models:

• Hourly consulting, or
• Deliverable-based work (e.g. completion of a course or module to an agreed timeline).

Key Responsibilities:

You will play a key role in shaping the Academy’s content and learner experience.
Responsibilities include:

• Develop text-based course content on practical quantum computing topics.
• Design and structure courses, ensuring a coherent learning progression.
• Create figures and visual aids to support understanding.
• Work within our LMS (Moodle) to upload, format, and curate content.
• Translate complex experimental concepts into clear, structured, and engaging explanations.
• Collaborate with the product manager and engineering team to develop simulated practical exercises.

Your Background and Skills

Essential

• Degree in physics or a closely related field.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts in a clear, intuitive, and structured way.

Desirable

• Experience working in a quantum or low-temperature laboratory environment.
• Familiarity with cryogenics, RF/microwave engineering, or measurement systems.
• Knowledge of superconducting or spin-based quantum computing platforms.
• Teaching, tutoring, or science communication experience.
• Basic programming experience (e.g. Python).
• Experience using Illustrator to create scientific figures.
• Experience using Latex to format equations.
