Senior Electrochemistry Researcher

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.
