<p><strong>Reports to</strong>: Vice President, Energy Systems&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Type of Position</strong>: Full time position</p>
<p><strong>Ideal start date</strong>: August 1, 2023</p>

Benefits include a health plan, 401(k) retirement plan, LTD, STD, life, vision, dental, FSA/HSA, paid time off, professional development allowance, and a communication stipend.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>ABOUT THE GREAT PLAINS INSTITUTE</strong></p>
<p>A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, the Great Plains Institute (GPI) is accelerating the transition to net-zero carbon emissions for the benefit of people, the economy, and the environment. Increased demand for GPI&rsquo;s unique blend of energy expertise and consensus-derived solutions has driven organizational and programmatic growth. With headquarters in Minnesota, GPI&rsquo;s operations are national in scope while retaining a core competency in the Midcontinent region. GPI is powered by more than 50 professionals and is supported by some of the nation&rsquo;s most respected philanthropies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The following values inform the way we work both inside and outside of GPI. It is important to us to be trusted, inclusive, equitable, pragmatic, and transformative:</p>
<p><strong>Trusted. We base our approach and actions on trust, mutual respect, and accountability.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Inclusive. We achieve impact through inclusive and deliberate collaboration with a diversity of interests.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Equitable. We strive for equity in our approach and outcomes.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pragmatic. We take a clear-eyed view of the world as it is, even as we seek to improve it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Transformative. We are a bold and passionate catalyst for change.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>ENERGY SYSTEMS PROGRAM AREA</strong></p>
<p>The Energy Systems program area is focused on decarbonizing the economy by enabling collaboration and problem solving among electric and natural gas utilities and market operators, regulators, environmental advocates, consumer advocates, state and local governments, businesses, and other key stakeholders.</p>
<p>We work with groups of state governor&rsquo;s offices and environmental and energy regulators to develop and implement decarbonization plans; within the Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator stakeholder process on market rules and the transmission build-out; with states, utilities, and other interests to align utility business models with an affordable, reliable, and net-zero greenhouse gas energy system; with states, local governments, and other key actors to bring down the implementation costs of net-zero greenhouse gas technologies and increase consumer demand for net-zero greenhouse gas resources.</p>
<p>We foster collaboration and problem solving through complex stakeholder engagement processes. These often involve groups of 20-100 stakeholders that meet regularly over several months to develop a shared understanding of energy and climate policy and technology issues, discuss varying perspectives on those issues, and collaborate to identify actions to address those issues.</p>
<p>Our team has a fast-paced entrepreneurial culture in which people enjoy both great freedom and great responsibility. People who thrive in this culture take personal responsibility for seeing what needs doing and getting it done. They are self-starters, problem-solvers, and quick to help others. They work hard because they believe in the mission and get to spend most of their time at the intersection of what they love to do and are good at. It&rsquo;s a working environment in which performance is judged more on results than on time spent in a chair. We are committed to building a diverse staff and strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. We aspire to make this the best job anyone has ever had.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>THIS POSITION&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>About Carbon Atlantis<br /></strong><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Decarbonizing the air with a breakthrough electrolyzer technology for acid &amp; base production.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy &ndash; with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals.</p>
<p>Non-thermal approaches for DAC rely on acids and bases. Bases efficiently bind CO2, while acids release it. In short, bases ❤️ and acids ❌ CO2. We have cracked the nut here by <strong>developing a breakthrough electrolyzer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to deliver a scalable and cost-effective DAC process.</strong></p>
<p>Getting to net zero requires drastic reductions in emissions. However, reductions alone won't be sufficient to achieve net zero. In addition, we need carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate industries and carbon removal technologies to offset residual emissions. Direct Air Capture (DAC) plays a pivotal role as a permanent and verifiable carbon removal technology in the broader effort to reach net zero.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>DAC needs to scale up to 1-2 gigatons (Gt) by 2050 </strong>to offset residual emissions from hard-to-abate industries and Scope 3 activities, such as flights. We assist our leading clients, including Shopify and Stripe, in reaching their net-zero objectives.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond, our technology can be utilized for point-source capture in the aluminum industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Some context to get us started</strong></p>
<p>Join our pioneering team as one of the first twenty employees at Germany&rsquo;s hottest CO2 removal start-up!</p>
<p>We're currently looking for committed and passionate individuals who are eager to harness our technology to join the ride towards a carbon-free future: let's make history together!

Founder, Critical Minerals (Mining / Refining / Geology)

<div><span style="font-size:24px;">About the Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is looking for a Data Scientist to help us fight climate change with soil. This role will coordinate with our hardware team to improve data collection from our novel spectral soil probe for building machine learning models, will partner with our soil science team to collect and analyze soil and geospatial data sets, and will collaborate with our business development team to accurately and effectively communicate soil carbon results to our customers.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">On a typical day, our field team is out collecting data on farms. Raw data from spectrometers and other sensors get uploaded (once internet is available) and ingested by our data pipeline. Your job is to take this real-world messy data, process and normalize it, deal with partial collections and find inconsistencies. You’ll collaborate across the company to combine that data with lab analyses and other data sources to build statistical and machine learning models that estimate carbon stocks. Your work drives the incentives for climate-friendly agriculture.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is a remote-first company and the technology team is distributed around the U.S. This role will report directly to Yard Stick’s VP of Software, and will work under the technical leadership of the Head of Data Science. This is a dream job for someone who loves working with data, is curious about soil science, and wants to join a growing startup with literal planetary-scale impact.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’d like to hire this person to start ASAP.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About Yard Stick PBC</span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.useyardstick.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 70-90%, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow, expensive, and cumbersome, relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks. In contrast, Yard Stick is fast and cheap - without sacrificing accuracy.

Quantify soil carbon stocks easily and affordably with Yard Stick's measurement solutions, enabling gigaton-scale agricultural carbon sequestration

Data Scientist

<div><span style="font-size:24px;">About The Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is looking for a </span><b style="font-size:11pt;">Principal Soil Scientist </b><span style="font-size:11pt;">to help us fight climate change with soil.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">The Principal Soil Scientist will spearhead our science team. This looks like designing and implementing Yard Stick’s research goals and roadmap, defining the scientific partnership strategy, and making sure high quality soil science principles are integrated across all Yard Stick functions. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick’s mission is clear: We must replace lab analysis of soil carbon with in situ spectroscopy if carbon removal via soils is to have meaningful climate impact. Beyond markets, of course, improved quality of measurement will also increase our ability to understand the nature of changing soil carbon stocks around the world. The ideal candidate is a soil scientist who is passionate about high-quality proximal sensing research and mapping, particularly in regards to soil carbon. This candidate will have demonstrated successful leadership and motivation of a small team and values radical candor and company culture. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">This role will lead a team of our current Senior Soil Scientist, Sarah Coffman, and report to our cofounder and Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Meissner. This scientist can be based anywhere in US time zones, with the ability to travel ~10-20% (combination of field work, science meetings, as well as company and scientific partner on-sites). </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">This is a dream job for a pedometrician or soil scientist with proximal sensing experience who enjoys applying their knowledge to real world problems through high-quality and rigorous lab and field research. Someone who wants to nurture engaged and multidisciplinary research teams without the red tape of government and academic institutions will enjoy this work at Yard Stick.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We would like to hire this role ASAP. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About Yard Stick PBC</span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.useyardstick.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 70-90%, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow, expensive, and cumbersome, relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks.

We also </span><a href="https://myclimatejourney.substack.com/p/the-growing-climate-solutions-act" style="font-size:11pt;">publicly highlight the risk of further racial discrimination</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> in emerging agricultural legislation like the Growing Climate Solutions Act.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Regarding hiring and culture, we work to create a work environment where everyone feels confident sharing their ideas, problem-solving happens openly and collaboratively, and mistake-making is welcomed. We also standardize our interview process and questions to reduce “likeability” bias, benchmark salaries against industry databases to reduce negotiation, and utilize tools like the Gender Decoder (this one is</span><a href="http://gender-decoder.katmatfield.com/results/bb901375-3e5e-4307-a4da-a5397bdcfc4b"> feminine-coded</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, fwiw). Climate change is arguably the most complex challenge ever faced by humanity - we need all of humanity activated to fight back, and that motivates us to build a diverse team.</span></div>
