Role Description Duration: 4-6 weeks | Location: Field + Remote (Hybrid)Who We Want: Relentless researchers who get their hands dirty—literally. If you’re the type who interviews farmers in 40°C heat, obsesses over lab-to-land gaps, or tears apart academic papers to test assumptions, this is your lab.- Obsessed with climate tech, biotech, or fintech-for-planet.What You’ll Actually Do:Ground Truth Hunting:- Talk to real MSMEs, farmers, recyclers—not just databases. Find the delta between theory and reality.Example: Why do 78% of textile units ignore solar subsidies? (Hint: It’s not awareness.)First-Principle Solutions:- No copy-paste ideas. Start from: What’s the cheapest, dumbest way to cut 1 ton of CO₂ here?- Deliver 1-2 brutally practical solutions (e.g., Use rice husk ash as carbon-negative cement filler—validated with 3 local masons).Why Bother?- Top 3 Researchers: Funded to pilot their solution or hired full-time.- No Ivory Towers: Work with Biocog’s team (ex-fintech, climate nerds) to pressure-test ideas in the wild.Own a Problem: Pick one hyper-specific emissions pain point (e.g., How to monetize sugarcane waste for 10M farmers) and crack it.We Filter For:- Fieldwork DNA: You’ve chased primary data before (surveys, lab tests, shadowing workers).- Questioning: You ask Why? 5 times before accepting an answer.- Obsession with Gaps: You spot leaks in proven solutions (e.g., Biochar fails here because…).Apply with:- A 300-word ground truth report on one carbon problem you’ve personally witnessed (e.g., Why Punjab farmers burn straw despite subsidies).- Just raw observations + one counterintuitive fix. That's all I need.join us if you are passionate about nature, climate and creating a better life.
