- Maintenance of the editorial and project plan and support in monitoring content progress
We are looking for you
- Completed university degree or comparable training, ideally in the field of didactics, communication or natural sciences.
- Several years of experience in project management, learning platform development, or in the coordination of interdisciplinary projects.
- Basic knowledge or orientation in the field of quantum technologies (e.g. through studies, MOOC, professional experience).
- Experience with or at least enjoyment of new methods and the design of interactive learning experiences, including innovative concepts for e-learning.
- Organizational talent, high level of personal responsibility and communication skills
Strong analytical problem-solving skills coupled with a keen eye for detail. - Agility when switching between different projects and teams.
- Team player who enjoys agile working in an international, interdisciplinary and creative team.

What we offer:
We offer you an attractive and varied job with excellent working conditions in a vibrant scientific environment, as well as the opportunity to support an international team in its development and to play a key role in an interdisciplinary community.
There is also the opportunity to travel for the duration of the project. This position can be carried out alongside a doctorate or as a freelancer.
The workplace is centrally located directly on Königsplatz with subway connections. We offer flexible working hours in consultation with the project management, a modern workplace with co-working spaces, and the option of working from home (up to 20%). Remuneration is based on qualifications and personal suitability, based on performance according to the E13 TV-L salary scale. The position is suitable for people with severe disabilities. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if otherwise essentially equal qualifications, abilities, and professional performance are achieved. As an institution, we strive to increase the proportion of women; applications from women are therefore expressly welcomed.
About the Project:
The QuantWorld project aims to impart knowledge about second-generation quantum technologies in a target group-oriented manner and to make them tangible. To impart this knowledge, we are building a module-based QuantWorld learning platform with certification options. The central target group of our digital QuantWorld learning platform is citizens, whom we will reach through their workplaces for a needs-based introduction to the topic. In this project, we are focusing on the topics of "medicine," "banking," and "mobility."
QuantWorld Challenges - Artistic Interventions with the QuantWorld Target Groups: The artistic interventions of the QuantWorld Challenges serve us in the project as a means of translating the complexity of second-generation quantum technologies to citizens, but also as a means of technological innovation. An artistic intervention allows the societal transformations brought about by the establishment of second-generation quantum technologies to be experienced. The artistic interventions will be digitally created or documented using extended reality formats in order to make them accessible to all citizens.
