Senior Carbon Removal Scientist or Engineer
We are looking for scientists and engineers with expertise from any of the list below (and beyond) to join our team. If you've worked on Carbon Removal projects in the past please apply!

• Modeling and simulation
• Gas exchange kinetics
• Physics
• Fluid dynamics
• Hydrology
• Aqueous geochemistry
• Analytical chemistry
• Biogeochemistry
• Oceanography (physical, chemical, biological)
• Process engineering
• Mechanical engineering
• Materials science
• Subsurface geology/geophysics

• Etc.

Outcomes you'll be responsible for

• Leading on pathway specific research and building internal capabilities underpinning Carbon Removal and storage technologies.
• Ensuring that the science underlying the Isometric platform for Carbon Removal suppliers is internally consistent and in line with the latest research.
• Building an early science team culture that values scientific rigour, pragmatism, and ecosystem building through mentoring your teammates or influencing how we interface with external experts and stakeholders.

Tasks you might do

• Providing technical leadership in onboarding Carbon Removal suppliers onto the Isometric platform.
• Assessing which observation(s) and/or model(s) are required for robust verification of Carbon Removal suppliers.
• Working directly with Carbon Removal buyers and suppliers to understand their verification needs from a technical perspective.
• Working directly with the engineering team to build a verification product that works across multiple Carbon Removal pathways.

Aptitudes you'll display

• Deep subject matter expertise and thought leadership related to one or more core science and engineering skills, which you may have obtained through the process of earning a PhD degree or equivalent and through additional academic and/or industry experience.
• Eagerness to learn new things and to teach others about the science of Carbon Removal and storage. We are science-driven and are building technology that relies on the clear communication of science concepts, both internally and externally.
• Drive to urgently solve big challenges that have no obvious answers today. We're doing novel things that no one person knows the answer to today.
• Bringing good energy and humility into how you show up. It's a tough problem but we can't give up.

This role might not be for you if

• You want to be fully remote-we prefer to work together in the office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
• You like structure-this role demands flexibility beyond your expertise area, and comfort with ambiguity.
• You prefer a slow pace-we need immediate action and quick decisions, given the urgency of our problem.
