At Stile, our mission is simple: prepare young citizens to think scientifically about the world around them and make evidence-based decisions for their future. To do this, we create thought-provoking, meticulously researched science content that connects real-world discoveries to students’ everyday lives.

We’re looking for passionate, early-career science teachers who want to have an even bigger impact beyond the classroom. If you love sparking curiosity in your students, and you’ve ever wished you could help shape the very resources teachers rely on, this role is for you.

1 in 3 schools in Australia use Stile, and with a rapid expansion in the US, we expect our use to continue to grow in the coming years. That's quite some reach, and it's a responsibility we take very seriously.

The Stile team is made up of 80 incredible teachers, scientists, artists and engineers who genuinely care about, and are working towards, improving scientific literacy amongst our young citizens.

We need your help!

As a Science Curriculum Writer, you’ll bring your classroom experience to the creation of engaging, rigorous science lessons. You’ll write resources that you would be proud to teach yourself - lessons that not only align with curriculum standards but also capture students’ imaginations.

This is a junior role ideal for people in the early stages of their teaching or curriculum development careers. Don’t worry if you don’t have years of publishing experience—we’ll coach you on how to do this well. What matters most is your creativity, curiosity, work ethic and ability to learn quickly.

How you’ll spend your time:

• Creating world-class science resources.
  Working side-by-side with our ‘dream team’ of other writers, teachers, engineers, designers and professional development team to make the best science resources in the known universe.

• 
  Aligning content to curricula.
  Finding novel ways to take the best aspects of different curricula and bring them together to create engaging content that will excite educators worldwide.

• 
  Collaborating across disciplines.
  Partnering with videographers, designers, and engineers to bring your ideas to life - whether that’s crafting an engaging video, building a classroom simulation, or designing an interactive tool to model real-world phenomena.

• 
  User testing in schools.
  Test and teach the content you create to ensure it hits the mark in the classroom.

• 
  Continuing to hone your skills and knowledge.
  We’re lifelong learners at Stile, so we always seek to improve our practice. You’ll find yourself reading up on the latest AI vibe-coded simulations or learning about the latest trends in education. You can also expect to spend time peer-reviewing work with your colleagues, ensuring we’re consistently delivering the best possible content.
