Join the Revolution in Carbon Negative Crop Nutrition

This is an exceptional opportunity to become a core part of building something truly revolutionary in the crop nutrition space. We are developing a globally unique ultrafine silicate material that functions as a slow-release fertilizer, soil amendment, and a solution for permanent carbon capture.

We are seeking a highly motivated early-to-mid-career scientist who demonstrates strong scientific curiosity, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a proactive approach to developing new ideas and methodologies. We place a high value on energy, motivation, and potential for growth, in addition to technical expertise.

What you will do: Key responsibilities

This role is core in our pre-commercialization-phase and requires an independently driven, hands-on scientist who is ready to accelerate our core agronomic research. You will be instrumental in understanding and optimizing the application of our material, with responsibilities including:

• Scientific experimentation: Autonomously driving the design, hands-on execution, and problem-solving of your own laboratory and pot-scale experiments, while also managing and overseeing lab & fields experiments executed by third-party research partners, to investigate the material's impact and mode of action on soil biogeochemistry and crop nutrition.

• Data analysis & interpretation: Applying strong quantitative and analytical skills to process, statistically analyze, and interpret complex plant and soil datasets.

• Project management & documentation: Monitoring, documenting and reporting on project progress, experimental results, and key findings (e.g., database management, budget tracking, and internal meetings).

• Agronomic translation: Connecting experimental findings to practical agronomic contexts and practices, supporting the translation of research into real-world applications.

• Innovation: Taking the initiative to propose new ideas, methods, and concepts to address emerging scientific questions and drive project work forward autonomously.

Who is our ideal candidate?

Background & education

You hold a PhD or post-doc in soil science, biogeochemistry, agronomy, plant science, or a related field (a master's degree will be considered for candidates with additional vocational experience).

Candidates who have experience working on research questions such as the following will be particularly well-suited:

• The cycling of different nutrient forms in soils and how inorganic, plant and microbial processes determine their bioavailability.

• How the chemistry and material properties of soil amendments or fertilizers influence nutrient cycling pathways, plant uptake, and long-term soil fertility.

• How crops respond - in growth, yield, quality, and health - to shifts in nutrient availability or soil nutrient dynamics.

Technical skills

• Experimental design & execution: Able to design, run, troubleshoot and interpret laboratory and pot experiments.

• Data analysis & modelling: Proficient in statistical analysis and empirical/data-driven modelling, ideally using Python or R.

• Scientific documentation: Capable of independently monitoring, documenting and reporting experimental work with high accuracy.

Personal qualities

• Analytical thinker: Approaches problems with rigor, structure and strong quantitative reasoning.

• Autonomous & proactive: Naturally a hands-on “doer”, comfortable taking initiative and advancing projects independently.

• Collaborative & cross-disciplinary: Works effectively with team members from different fields.

• Curiosity & innovation: Rapid learner with a drive to explore new concepts and propose new ideas.

• Positive team presence: Contributes to a supportive, transparent, high-performing team culture (high-fives are welcome!).
