Job Description & How to Apply Below
At UNDO, geochemistry is the foundational science driving our carbon removal technology, essential for our commercial operations aimed at removing 1 billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030.
We seek an experienced scientist with expertise in either geochemistry, agronomy, soil science or a closely related discipline, as well as strong leadership skills to accelerate the development of our enhanced rock weathering technology, and support scaling CDR through innovation, research and scientific advancement.
What will you do
You will work on a range of ERW problems, contributing to the continuous development and improvement of our quantification approach based on the best available science and the calibration and validation of our geochemical model.
Responsibilities
We’re flexible on your specialism, and your exact areas of ownership will depend on your experience and skillset. Some example responsibilities are:
Lead on data requirements, quality control and method development for our measurement stack and ensure it is scientifically robust and aligned with verification requirements
Test and sign-off, explain and gain buy‑in to our MRV approach to external stakeholders, such as verification bodies, customers and the broader scientific community community
Own the identification, design and installation of research sites, working closely with our field teams to provide ongoing support and advice
Identify and evaluate scientific risks, such as strong acid weathering, and advise on mitigation strategies
Stay current with the latest scientific advancements and industry trends in geochemistry and enhanced weathering
Communicate scientific concepts and approaches to the Carbon and measurement teams and senior leadership
Assist with due diligence, investor relations and contract reporting where expert scientific detail is required
Author, co‑author and present enhanced weathering research through peer‑reviewed papers, white papers, media articles, presentations and conferences as required
Assist with the development and implementation of team and departmental OKRs
Contribute to the preparation of grant proposals and funding applications.
About you
A suitable candidate for this role will need to be an expert in the field of enhanced rock weathering with a background in aqueous geochemistry, agronomy, plant science, soil science, hydrology, geology or a closely related field. You should have a detailed understanding of rock weathering processes, quantification of CDR through proxy and direct measurement and downstream effects. The work we do is very collaborative, and as such, you’ll be able to work independently on tasks, but also be able to work collaboratively with others in our team so together we can excel the current understanding of enhanced weathering and its contribution to preventing climate change.
Essential
Ph.D. or equivalent in aqueous geochemistry, agronomy, plant science, soil science, hydrology, geology or a closely related field
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with expertise in a relevant area of geochemical data analysis
Pre‑existing understanding of soil, rock and soil solution characterisation methods (i.e. ICP‑MS, ICP‑OES, XRF, XRD, sequential extractions, weathering isotopic systematics etc)
Proficiency in using laboratory and field equipment for geochemical analyses
Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment
A track record of delivery of scientific reports or peer‑reviewed papers in a timeline manner
Excellent oral and written communication skills - an ability to present complex information adaptively to the audience knowledge level
Ability to adapt to changing circumstances
Passion for environmental sustainability and addressing climate change.
Desirable
Direct experience with enhanced rock weathering
Post‑PhD research experience in either industry or academia (post‑doc)
Experience with carbon markets or CDR technologies
Experience in the design, planning and interpretation of field trials.
Use of statistical methods for data analysis
Knowledge of geochemical modelling in Phree
QC would be an advantage
Basic programming capabilities (we use Python)
