Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world鈥檚 hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schr枚dinger cat qubit 馃悎鈥嶁瑳 . In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously! We're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine.
Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! PURPOSE OF THE ROLE As a Science Communication Intern, you鈥檒l sit at the heart of our science communication efforts, reporting to our Content Manager and helping plan, execute and continuously improve the production of content around Alice & Bob鈥檚 new scientific research and milestones.
Your mission: turn our research into content that is accessible and engaging without ever losing scientific accuracy. Too simple and it鈥檚 wrong; too precise and nobody reads it. You鈥檒l find that fine line between the two, and deliver high-quality assets with great on-brand design that both a curious newcomer and a physicist can trust. You鈥檒l work with a range of people, from scientists who keep you accurate to creative partners and marketing colleagues who help make it engaging.
We鈥檙e looking for someone with a passion for science communication, a penchant for great storytelling and design, and a strong appetite for making complex ideas simple. You take ownership, bring ideas, and care about delivering high-quality work. Join us as we build the future of quantum computing. The internship starts between January and March 2027 and lasts 6 months! Responsibilities: Research to content: Turn research papers and results into different assets: blog posts, static visual explainers like infographics, and animations.
Produce blog posts and write plans, using AI tools where relevant. Scientist interviews: Participate in meetings with scientists or subject matter experts, help prepare interviews on paper findings, and brief marketing colleagues afterwards. Videos & visuals: Work on scripts and storyboards for videos, and create briefs for illustrators, designers and other visual assets. Longer formats: Support longer formats such as reports and white papers.
Landscape watch: Monitor the quantum computing landscape and suggest content ideas. Content planning: Help maintain our trackers and content planning tools for papers. Requirements: Final-year Master鈥檚 student in Physics or a technical field with a desire to move into communications, or in Marketing, Communications or a related field with a strong interest in science and, ideally, a first experience in a deep tech or science startup or in communicating science or tech.
Looking for a 6-month internship starting January鈥揗arch 2027 Fluent in English Good eye for quality content: able to judge whether a piece is accurate, clear and on-brand, and to correct and refine it using tools including AI until it reaches the right standard Ability to take complex science and turn it into simplified, engaging narratives Visual thinker and natural storyteller, with a good eye and sense of impactful design Collaborative, a fast learner, with high attention to detail and quality standards Nice to have: Physics or quantum computing knowledge, especially for marketing profiles Further experience in a startup or scale-up environment Benefits: - 1 day off per month - Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law) - Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped and regularly stocked kitchen Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed.
This list is a guide, and we'd love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match. We are looking to build teams that innovate, not just tick boxes on a job spec. You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer! We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
