Job description
Carbominer is a Ukrainian climate-tech startup developing a solution for capturing CO₂ directly from ambient air using innovative electrochemical methods.
Our first commercial focus is on providing greenhouses with sustainable CO₂ to enhance crop growth.
Our team is growing, and we’re looking for a Senior Electrochemistry Researcher to help us further improve our pH-swing regeneration technology for CO₂ capture from working solutions.
Responsibilities:
Design and conduct electrochemical experiments, including pH-swing processes in carbonate-based solutions.
Develop and optimize electrochemical systems tailored to performance goals.
Analyze results and suggest design improvements to enhance system efficiency.
Develop and test new materials for electrodes, membranes, and electrolytes.
Supervise junior researchers and lab technicians.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams (chemists, engineers, and product developers).
Contribute to scientific publications, patent filings, and grant applications.
What We Expect:
- Strong knowledge of electrochemistry.
(PhD is a plus, but not required if backed by relevant hands-on experience.)
- 2+ years of experience in research or R&D.
(Previous work with pH-swing systems or CO₂ capture is a strong advantage.)
Familiarity with ion exchange membranes, buffer systems, and flow-cell design.
Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as power supplies, potentiostats, pH meters, gas analyzers, etc.
Ability to work with scientific publications (Intermediate English or higher).
High motivation to develop and implement innovative solutions.
What We Offer:
Official employment with a competitive salary.
Work on cutting-edge R&D projects with global impact.
Open, collaborative, and mission-driven work environment.
Flexibility to work from our Kyiv office or remotely.
Opportunities for professional development and participation in international grant projects.
About Us:
Carbominer is backed by European grant programs and private investors.
Our pilot systems are already delivering CO₂ to greenhouses using significantly less energy than traditional solutions.
We believe in the power of breakthrough innovation — and we’re building a team that shares that vision.
