Job Description
Direct Air Capture is fundamentally a chemistry problem operating under extreme constraints: very low CO₂ concentrations (~400–450 ppm), varying humidity, continuous exposure to oxygen, and the need for thousands to tens-of-thousands of stable capture–release cycles. We are seeking a curious, analytically strong Research Scientist to contribute to the development and evaluation of solid CO₂ sorbent materials. The role centers on sorbent chemistry, adsorption and regeneration behavior, degradation mechanisms, and experimental rigor translating laboratory observations into reliable insights that guide material improvement and scale-up decisions
This is a hands-on, lab-based role for an early-career scientist eager to work on real materials, real data, and real-world material behavior under realistic operating conditions, while collaborating with internationally recognized scientists from leading global universities and research institutions to tackle the fundamental challenges limitin...
