Postdoctoral Research Scientist, OAE Process-Model Testbed

About [C]Worthy [C]Worthy is a non-profit research organization focused on transforming research-grade oceanographic models into open, reproducible, and auditable decision-support tools for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Our mission is to deliver trustworthy, science-backed tools for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)—enabling governments, communities, and markets to make high-stakes ocean decisions grounded in transparent, scientifically credible evidence. We are building three interlocking open-science capabilities: C-Star, an open-source modeling platform that systematizes regional ocean model configuration, execution, and evaluation through versioned inputs, automated workflows, and comprehensive provenance tracking; the C-Star Ocean Network (C-SON), a growing constellation of standardized regional modeling domains designed to support consistent CDR accounting across sites and regions; and the Ocean CDR Atlas, an open dataset library and web tools that map CDR performance, connectivity, and risk drivers across ocean regions—providing the basis for low-cost MRV evaluation and standard-setting worldwide. These capabilities are not CDR tools alone—they are the foundation for scalable ocean science. Robust shared infrastructure makes knowledge transferable and auditable: once validated domains, standardized workflows, and reusable tooling are in place, the marginal cost of each additional application falls and the benefits of research innovation can flow across a network of projects and regions. We aspire to democratize access to sophisticated ocean information tools, empowering diverse scientific communities to participate in ocean governance and marine resource management on their own terms. [C]Worthy is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. For full consideration, please apply by June 24, 2026. Applications received after this date may be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
