Head of Soil Science

We at Everest Carbon believe that geochemical carbon dioxide removal (gCDR) has the potential to become humanity´s most effective CDR pathway. Our business is developing cutting-edge technologies that enable the time- and cost-effective quantification of high-quality carbon removals.

Join us as the Head of Soil Science and embark on a mission to revolutionize gCDR at scale. As a seasoned soil scientist, you'll play a pivotal role in developing transformative measurement technology that enables the quantification of high-quality carbon removals through Enhanced Weathering (EW).

Tasks

• Collaborate with a team of talented scientists and engineers to develop innovative approaches to quantifying gCDR, enabling the widespread adoption of EW as a credible and effective carbon removal strategy.
• Design and implement research projects to refine our measurement technologies, setting industry standards and contributing to the global conversation on climate solutions.
• Engage in thought leadership discussions, fostering collaboration and consensus around best practices for EW measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV), ensuring alignment with global standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Leave a lasting mark on gCDR, catalyzing gigaton-scale negative emissions.

Requirements

• A Ph.D. or Master's degree in Soil Science, Geology, or a related field with 5+ years of experience in soil science research and/or field applications.
• Expertise in gCDR and its measurement methodologies, with a proven ability to conduct independent research and develop novel approaches to scientific challenges.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a proven track record of building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Extensive experience with the planning and execution of EW projects.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Benefits

• Competitive pay (€ 50,000-75,000 annual gross salary for full-time position) based on experience and expertise, with additional overpay possible.
• Stock options to give you participation in the companies' long-term success.
• A supportive company culture focused on climate impact as a team.
• Extensive benefits package (PTO, healthcare, retirement funds).
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work options.
• Comprehensive onboarding services to help you set up well in Linz, Austria.
• A stellar team made of individuals who support each other to grow as humans and climate change-makers.

Join Our Mission

We're a venture-backed, revenue-generating, and ambitious global team working on what we see as the most promising pathway towards large scale negative emissions. Our mission is to directly be involved in 1 billion tons of CO2 removed per year by 2035 through our products and services.
