We look forward to receiving your application!
THE OPPORTUNITY
Overview
Carbon180 is seeking a Senior Research Lead, Carbon Removal to join our Science & Innovation (S&I) team - the organization's engine for scientific rigor, strategic foresight, and field-wide leadership. S&I sits at the intersection of climate science, technology innovation, policy design, and industry practice, ensuring that carbon removal not only scales, but does so in ways that are just, equitable, and highly accountable (JEHA).
In this role, you will serve as a senior individual contributor who brings deep technical fluency in carbon removal, strong systems thinking, and leadership across complex, cross-functional projects. You'll own major Science and Innovation work-streams, and help move the field towards high-accountability carbon removal. You'll be expected to stay up-to-date on carbon removal pathways, including promising frontier technologies, and share the most impactful learnings with the Carbon180 team.
You'll also work closely with the policy, federal affairs, external affairs, and communications teams to (1) proactively develop and communicate technical guidance to support the responsible growth of the carbon removal sector and (2) respond to time-sensitive opportunities from Congress, the White House, communications, funders, and federal agencies.
This role will report to the Director of Science and Innovation.
Major Roles + Responsibilities
Lead complex, cross-functional projects that require scientific depth, strategic synthesis, and coordination across teams. In the first 6 months of this role, you will lead early work on financial mechanisms for carbon removal as a core initial project, applying systems thinking to assess barriers, incentives, and policy levers.

WHO YOU ARE
Our ideal candidate believes deeply in our mission. Beyond that:
Science and innovation are your “things.” You have meaningful fluency across carbon removal pathways and genuinely enjoy digging into new technologies, scientific papers, and tricky system dynamics. Your friends expect you to know (or find!) the answer to random technical questions, and you can synthesize learnings across domains to spot what's signal versus noise.
You are an excellent and fluid communicator. People come to you to help translate complex scientific or technical ideas into clear, compelling narratives. You move comfortably between conversations with scientists, entrepreneurs, lawmakers, community partners, and corporate leaders - and help each understand what matters.
You move fluidly from strategy to execution. You can toggle between big-picture systems thinking and detailed technical analysis without missing a beat. You juggle multiple projects, prioritize effectively, track timelines, and roll up your sleeves when the work needs it.
You navigate complexity with steadiness and flexibility. You can move between projects without losing focus, shift priorities when needed, and stay grounded when the field or policy landscape changes. You are comfortable with ambiguity, quick to recover from setbacks, and able to bring clarity in dynamic situations.
You thrive on a collaborative team. You're energized by working with others. You value a collaborative team culture where people take time to reflect, align, and build ideas together. You enjoy co-creating thoughtful, defensible work and contributing to a collective process that prioritizes clarity and intention.
You are high-impact, low ego, and values aligned. You care more about collective success than individual credit. You show up with humility, curiosity, and kindness. Carbon180's core values - especially our commitment to justice, equity, and accountability - resonate with how you want to show up in this work.
Beyond that, you have:
5 -10 years of scientific or technical experience, with at least some exposure to carbon removal or closely related fields (e.g., carbon management, energy systems, materials science, bioprocess engineering, Earth sciences).
A multidisciplinary mindset and willingness to get up to speed quickly on a wide range of technical topics.
A track record of producing rigorous, high-quality work in environments that value depth, clarity, and thoughtful analysis.
Either prior experience working on science policy or a strong belief that government can contribute to solving societal-scale problems like climate change.
A healthy dose of climate urgency - and the determination to channel it into meaningful, systems-level change.
