As our MRV Researcher, you will lead research on Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) in tropical soils, with a particular focus on soil analyses. You will design, execute, and manage experiments that accurately monitor carbon dioxide removal, ensuring scientific rigor and high-quality data. You will take full ownership of our on-site experiments, drive improvements, and help shape our scientific strategy for ERW.
Job Responsibility:
Oversight and management of the onsite experiments in ESALQ (e.g. greenhouse experiments)
Oversee the scientific operations, such as design of experiments
Generate, analyse and manage data and samples related to our experiments
Ensure quality control checks are carried out on data generated and sample collection
Oversee sample inventory management and processing
Provide support and research to help the science team strategy moving forward
Compare, present and discuss data and research (e.g. recent papers) internally with our (science) team as well as with leading researchers globally
Available to deputise or cover for other members of the science team when they are away on leave or unable to carry out tasks
Available to support on field work and infield tasks
May lead on certain novel R+D topics related to EW
Requirements:
PhD or at least a master’s degree in Soil Science, Agronomy, Earth Science, Geochemistry, Biogeochemistry, or a related field
Solid knowledge of geology and weathering processes in tropical soils
Fluency in Portuguese
Advanced English, sufficient to present and discuss research within an international team
Residency in or near Piracicaba (SP), or willingness to relocate
Experience ensuring data quality and working with large sets of samples
A deep curiosity for the science behind ERW in tropical agricultural systems, and the ability to dive into details with rigor
An independent, confident, hands-on approach—proactive, energetic, and driven to make things happen
A fast-learning mindset, with the motivation to continuously develop both professionally and personally
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to break down complex scientific problems and communicate them clearly and concisely
A collaborative spirit—you enjoy working with others, supporting the team, and actively stepping in when needed
Scientific rigor and high attention to detail
Adaptability and resilience in rapidly evolving field and lab environments
Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to manage projects end-to-end
Clear communication and strong alignment with our mission
Nice to have:
Experience with greenhouse experiments, lysimeters, or soil analyses
Knowledge of carbon removal methodologies or MRV frameworks
Prior experience in tropical agriculture or working with field-based experiments
Familiarity with analytical equipment, geochemical modeling, or hydrology
