About the Role

This is a build-focused, roll-up-your-sleeves role for someone who likes both the science and the shipping. Your expertise in soil biogeochemistry and modelling will directly inform the design and development of high-quality rangeland/grassland regeneration projects across the US and Mexico. You’ll work alongside a world-class, purpose-driven team that moves at speed and strives for maximum impact.

Responsibilities

• Run, calibrate, and extend multi-model strategy including DayCent, RothC, SNAPGRAZE, and ecosys, exploring newer approaches like MEMS and RangeSTAR.
• Own calibration and validation to meet standard requirements, ensuring reproducible, version-controlled, and audit-ready model performance.
• Quantify the regeneration signal by isolating management-driven SOC change, fusing field measurements with remote sensing, and characterizing uncertainty.
• Utilize AI to scale and speed workflows and enhance model performance.
• Carry the science through certification under the Isometric (or equivalent) standard by producing required documentation.
• Support investor and technical due diligence by preparing methods write-ups, evidence, and uncertainty analysis.

Requirements

• Master’s Degree or PhD in Soil Science, Environmental Science, or a related field with a strong emphasis on biogeochemistry and ecosystem modelling.
• Proficiency in process-based SOC biogeochemical models (e.g., DayCent, RothC, ecosys).
• Strong quantitative skills, with Python and/or R for analysis and modelling workflows.
• A pragmatic, ship-it mindset, comfortable owning messy problems end-to-end.
• Clear written communication skills to document assumptions, limitations, and uncertainty.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team across time zones, with initiative and a proactive approach.
• Remote sensing and GIS experience (Desirable).
• Familiarity with the carbon-removal standards landscape (Isometric; Verra VM0042) and independent verification demands (Desirable).
• Experience with rangeland/grassland systems, ideally in North America (Desirable).
