Postdoctoral Scholar, Methane Research in the Waste Sector

Core responsibilities for this role include:

• Conducting methane research focused on the waste sector to advance understanding of emissions sources and mitigation strategies
• Analyzing remote sensing data to detect, pinpoint, and quantify methane emissions at facility scale
• Contributing to the development of actionable data products that support emission reduction efforts
• Publishing research findings and making data publicly available through the Carbon Mapper Data Portal

This role creates positive change by advancing scientific understanding of methane emissions in the waste sector and providing actionable data that enables decisionmakers to prioritize and implement effective mitigation strategies, ultimately driving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

Required qualifications and skills:

• PhD in environmental science, atmospheric science, engineering, or related field with focus on greenhouse gas emissions
• Experience with remote sensing technology and data analysis for methane detection and quantification
• Strong research background with publications in relevant scientific journals
• Knowledge of waste sector methane emissions and mitigation approaches

No specific compensation, perks, or culture highlights mentioned in the job description.

Carbon Mapper is a non-profit organization with the mission to drive greenhouse gas emission reductions by making methane and carbon dioxide data accessible and actionable through remote sensing technology that detects, pinpoints, and quantifies emissions at individual facility scale.
