Hi Crop, GHG, and Soil Modelers,

Mitti Labs is seeking to hire a full time Crop GHG modeler for our team.
Please see below.

Our Mission: Agriculture accounts for a large portion of global GHG
emissions and we believe that sustainable, regenerative, or climate smart
agricultural practices can help make landscapes more resilient,
improve livelihoods, and combat climate change. Through DMRV tech our goal
is to help grow adoption of climate smart ag and make impacts. Today we
work in small holder landscapes in India and South Asia.

Who We Are: We are a climate-tech startup who believe regenerative and
climate smart agriculture is a scalable & cost effective solution. Mitti
Labs uses data science, satellite remote sensing, and process models to
track farming practices, estimate GHG emissions, and compensate
small-holder farmers for their transition towards more sustainable
practices. We’re backed by leading global VCs who passionately believe in
our vision to change the world.

What You Will Help Us With:

   - Leads and/or supports modeling of crop productivity and physiology,
   agricultural GHG emissions, C/N cycling.
   - Help gauge impacts of management practices on environmental outcomes
   such as tillage, seeding, and water management on SOC, CH4, N2O, yield, and
   GWP
   - Work with data scientists, engineers and remote sensors to
   parameterize the model-stack and assess sensitivity
   - Lead and conduct simulations with process models across small holder
   landscapes
   - Identify best combinations of practices to reduce rice methane,
   sequester SOC, and improve resiliency
   - Work with institutional partners to implement best practices


Experience & Skills We're Looking For:

   - Awareness and interest in climate change, agriculture, IPCC
   principles, & sustainability
   - Minimum of Master’s degree in Agriculture, Biological Engineering,
   Environmental Sciences, Geography, Natural Resources, Soil Science, Systems
   modeling, or similar field
   - Scientific knowledge of research and ability to mine and synthesize
   literature
   - Knowledge, experience, and interest in assessing impacts of
   agricultural management practices on environmental outcomes such as C/N
   cycling, SOC sequestration, GHG emissions, GWP tradeoffs
   - Understanding of model parameterization, data handling, and
   sensitivity testing
   - Experience with process-based models such as DSSAT, APSIM, EPIC, DNDC,
   Oryza, DayCent, RothC


Preferred and Bonus if:

   - Experience in rice ecosystems and India (or S. Asia)
   - PhD & track record (publications, workshops, or conferences) of
   activity in modeling climate smart agriculture and collaborations with
   academia and research or policy institutions
   - Experience/knowledge in soil microbiology, CH4 & N20, flux towers,
   chambers
   - Big data simulations, git and Python, project design, Machine
   learning, remote sensing, designing new management modules (tillage,
   irrigation, manure)


Location: This role is fully remote. However, being located in India is
preferred for this role given the growth of Mitti Labs' program in the
region.

Why Work With Us: Be part of the first batch of employees turning Mitti
Labs’ goals into reality, and grow with us to make an impact on our planet
and the farmers we support. Joining at an early stage of this company will
allow you to have unlimited opportunities as we scale our team.

Thanks,
-Nate
