As a Research Scientist within the Worldwide Sustainability organization, you will lead the scientific rigor behind Amazon’s carbon neutralization strategy. You will own the development of high-integrity quantification methodologies for emerging climate solutions, ensuring that every ton of carbon removed or reduced is measured with absolute precision. Your daily focus involves evaluating complex carbon cycles and designing impact frameworks for novel segments like improved rock weathering and biomass storage.
This role is critical to the success of The Climate Pledge, moving beyond standard corporate reporting into the frontier of global carbon markets. By setting a science-based quality bar for catalytic investments, you directly influence how one of the world’s largest companies scales climate mitigation outside its immediate value chain. It is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between academic research and massive-scale corporate climate action.
This suits someone who possesses a PhD-level understanding of carbon removal pathways and thrives on turning theoretical scientific concepts into strong, scalable business strategies. You should be comfortable challenging existing market norms to ensure long-term environmental integrity.
