Carbon180 Internship

Carbon180 is launching a ​virtual​ summer internship program to build the carbon removal field, and support the next generation of carbon removal researchers, policy makers, thought leaders and doers. Interns will work closely with the Carbon180 team and subject-matter expert mentors to research engineered and nature-based carbon drawdown solutions to scale carbon removal to the gigaton level.

Carbon180 welcomes undergraduate students and recent graduates (class of 2020) from all academic institutions to apply, including 2-year colleges, specialized and mission-driven colleges, and 4-year universities.

You will work with our Chief Scientist to identify specific carbon removal topics of interest and then be connected with a subject matter expert who will mentor you and oversee the specifics of your internship project.

What you’ll do
  • Participate in a ​virtually-held ​summer internship cohort and work with policy interns on group projects that bring science and policy together;
  • Learn more about nature-based and technological carbon removal pathways;
  • Work with a subject-matter expert mentor and a member of the Carbon180 team to carry out secondary research and analysis on a selected carbon removal pathway (for example, direct air capture or soil carbon sequestration);
  • Participate in weekly intern cohort check-ins and meet periodic internship milestones;
  • Use existing research and analysis to inform policy recommendations on a selected carbon removal pathway
  • Submit a final internship project document.
