Staff Scientist, Ocean Modeling

About [C]Worthy

[C]Worthy is a Focused Research Organization operating in partnership with Convergent Research . We develop science-backed tools for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) by adapting advanced oceanographic models to quantify carbon removal and assess ecosystem impacts with scientific credibility. These tools are delivered through our open-source software platform, C-Star, which is designed to ensure ease-of-use, standardization, auditability, and transparency foundations for building high-integrity CDR markets. We collaborate with early commercial actors in the carbon removal market to support research, provide robust MRV solutions, and shape effective standards. We are also maintaining and building strong connections within the research community to ensure that our tools evolve alongside the best available science and technology.

Position Description

We are seeking an experienced ocean modeler to lead the expansion of the CStarOceanNetwork a growing constellation of regional ocean domains that underpins robust MRV for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) and direct ocean removal (DOR). The successful candidate will design and build highfidelity physicalbiogeochemical model configurations, work handinhand with earlystage commercial partners and academic collaborators, and help build an inclusive, global community of practice around opensource ocean modeling. This role sits at the intersection of cuttingedge science and missiondriven engineering : you will translate the latest oceanographic understanding into productiongrade tools that are transparent, auditable, and ready for regulatory scrutiny.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, & maintain C-Star model configurations to support carbon quantification calculations and related applications in partnership with commercial and / or research partners.
• Perform and advise on scientific evaluation of C-Star model simulations.
• Contribute to the design and development of C-Star software infrastructure, including workflows related to model evaluation, observational comparisons, CDR quantification, and environmental and / or site suitability assessments.
• Provide technical support and guidance to C-Star users.
• Conduct original research on CDR quantification methodologies, publish methods and results in peerreviewed outlets, and represent [C]Worthy at scientific conferences and standards organizations.
• For sufficiently experienced candidates : Manage a team focused on deploying regional modeling configurations for commercial pilot projects and research sites.
