Research Scientist, WW Sustainability

Amazon’s commitment to The Climate Pledge motivates us to work both inside and outside of our business operations to scale climate mitigation. Along with the decarbonization initiatives within our business operations, we have a robust strategy aligned with climate science for tackling climate change outside of our business.

The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.

The Carbon Neutralization team is seeking a research scientist that will dive deep to drive strategy and create methodological approaches for impact evaluation in novel carbon dioxide removal and greenhouse gas emissions reduction segments. The Carbon Neutralization team is responsible for the science, strategy, and procurement of outside-value-chain greenhouse gas reduction and carbon dioxide removal credits to help reach net zero. To date, Amazon has made foundational investments in jurisdictional reductions in deforestation emissions, nature-based carbon removal via forest restoration, superpollutant abatement in refrigerants and rice cultivation, and technological carbon dioxide removal.
