Job Title : Research Associate

Location: Bangalore (IISc Campus) / Darjeeling

Department: Scientific R&D | Shonku Labs, Alt Carbon

Experience: 2–5 years in applied research, analytical labs, or process development

Type: Full-time

About Alt Carbon: Alt Carbon is India's leading Carbon Removal (CDR) company. We blend science, technology & tradition to undertake climate action to turn the clock on historic emissions in the atmosphere. Our science and technology takes place in Bangalore; our operations are undertaken in Darjeeling's heritage tea estates.

Alt Carbon was started by sibling tea planters Shrey and Sparsh Agarwal, in order to rescue their family's tea estate from being at-risk of climate impact to becoming the frontier of climate action.

Our Journey to Revive Darjeeling

To read more about our work, check out this news feature about us, go through this twitter thread, or have a look at our work in Darjeeling.

About the Role

We are looking for razor-sharp, detail-obsessed Research Associates to support our scientific efforts in Carbon Dioxide Removal through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). This is not a typical academic lab role — it demands operational discipline, documentation excellence, and strong quantitative thinking.

You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team across geochemistry, agronomy, instrumentation, and AI. If you've spent time in high-compliance industries like pharma, food-tech, materials engineering, or corporate research — and you want to transition to climate and planetary sciences — this is your runway.

Who We're Looking For

We've learned that strong work ethic and analytical diligence often come from engineers, pharmacists, formulation scientists, chemical analysts, and R&D professionals — not just traditional Earth Science grads. If you:

- Can handle lab protocol design and sample tracking without dropping the ball
- Understand calibration, QA/QC, and documentation rigor
- Are excited to learn geochemistry and climate science on the job
- Want your work to meaningfully move the needle on climate change

...we want to talk.

Key Responsibilities

- Assist in experimental design and data collection for ERW trials
- Run analytical tests (with training) using XRD, ICP-OES, IRMS, and more
- Work with our internal LIMBS (Lab Information Management System) to log, track, and analyze samples
- Collaborate with our Earth Sciences and AI teams to improve models and methods
- Follow strict SOPs, maintain lab hygiene, and ensure audit-readiness
- Help prepare reports, whitepapers, and registry documentation for carbon credit issuance

Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree or higher in:

- Chemical Engineering

- Pharmaceutical Sciences (Formulation/Analytical/Process)

- Environmental or Civil Engineering (with lab or field experience)

- Analytical Chemistry / Industrial Chemistry / Materials Science

- 2-5 years of hands-on work in a corporate, academic, or industrial lab
- Bonus if you've worked in a GLP/GMP or ISO-compliant environment
- Bonus if you've handled wet chemistry, titrations, or soil/water/matrix analysis
- High comfort with spreadsheets, documentation, and structured experimentation

What We Offer

- A high-ownership role in one of South Asia's most advanced Earth Sciences labs
- Cross-disciplinary exposure: work with scientists, climate modelers, AI engineers
- A chance to publish, prototype, and ship science that goes from lab → field.
- The satisfaction of doing real, measurable good for the planet
