<div dir="ltr"><div>CarbonPlan has a new FT remote job opening for a <b>Carbon Dioxide Removal Research Scientist</b>!</div><div><h4>Description</h4><div><p>A core part of our mission is to create
public resources on climate solutions based on the best available
science and data. As developments in carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
accelerate, we want to grow our capacity to share relevant research,
tools, and insights around emerging CDR approaches. We’re particularly
interested in “open system” approaches like ocean alkalinity enhancement
and enhanced weathering that require expertise in geochemistry to
understand and model. As a CDR Research Scientist, you will be
responsible for designing and implementing research projects that inform
deployment and decision-making around CDR technologies, with a focus on
“open system” approaches. Your work will support several CDR
initiatives, both within our team and with external collaborators. You
will report to the CDR Program Manager, and participate in a
collaborative working culture in which you will contribute to setting
strategy and priorities.<br></p><p><strong>You will:</strong></p><ul><li>Perform
research projects on specific CDR approaches in support of our broader
CDR program with a focus on “open system” approaches like ocean
alkalinity enhancement and enhanced weathering (see e.g., our research
projects on <a href="https://carbonplan.org/research/forest-offsets-explainer">forest carbon overcrediting</a> and <a href="https://carbonplan.org/research/seaweed-farming-explainer">macroalgae potential</a>)</li><li>Help synthesize and communicate the best available CDR science (see e.g., our research projects on <a href="https://carbonplan.org/research/soil-depth-sampling"> soil carbon accounting </a>and <a href="https://carbonplan.org/research/cdr-verification">CDR verification</a>)</li><li>Publish CarbonPlan research articles, tools, blogs, and scientific journal articles</li><li>Work collaboratively with other team members at CarbonPlan and with external partners</li><li>Coordinate to engage media, research, and decision-making communities in the public and private sectors</li></ul></div><div class="gmail-styles--2kg4_"><h4>Requirements</h4><div><p><strong>You should have:</strong><br></p><ul><li>Passion for our mission</li><li>An
