Carbon Removal Scientist, Soil Carbon

Isometric is the world’s leading carbon removal registry. We help Fortune 100 companies tackle climate change and avoid greenwashing.

Using our best-in-class verification technology, we issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits—the currency for the $1 trillion carbon economy.

We’re looking for doers with a bias to action. Our team is brilliant and cares (a lot).

Join us for the most impactful role of your career—and the best job you’ve ever had.

Things you’ll do in this role:

• Define and refine MRV protocols for soil based carbon storage in both regenerative agriculture systems and other ecosystems (grasslands, forests, etc…)
• Work with digital MRV companies to integrate emergent technologies into the soil carbon crediting process
• Conduct literature reviews, analyzing supplier data and applying modeling techniques
• Collaborate with research partners and mentor team members
  
  
  

Things we’re looking for:

• PhD in soil science, biogeochemistry, environmental sciences, or a related field with expertise in soil carbon dynamics and storage.
• Minimum 1 year in post-graduate work
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced environment while delivering high quality results.
• Clear communication skills
• Proven ability to approach complex challenges with curiosity and a solution-oriented mindset
• Bonus: Experience with soil carbon projects, from the supplier, registry, or MRV perspective
  
  
  

This role isn’t for you if:

• You want a remote job. We value in-person collaboration and spend three days a week in the office.
• You prefer staying within your area of expertise and operating in structured environments. We navigate ambiguity at extreme pace and everyone is a generalist.
• You’re looking for a short term gig. We’re building for the long term and looking for people ready to grow with us for 5-10 years.
