Overview

Research Engineer, Doerr School of Sustainability, Stanford, California, United States. This is a 12-month fixed term position based on Stanford's main campus. Interested candidates must include a resume and cover letter to be considered for this position.

The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability strives to create a future when humans and nature thrive in concert and in perpetuity. The school is organized to drive global impact through a three-part structure : academic departments and programs, Institutes, and the Sustainability Accelerator. The school aims to support a diverse community and address environmental and climate challenges that affect people most impacted by these issues.

We are a multidisciplinary research team developing an innovative, low-carbon cement technology to decarbonize one of the world's most challenging industries. Supported by the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability Accelerator, the mission is to take this cement technology from lab to market, scaling solutions that significantly reduce CO2 emissions in construction.

Responsibilities

  • Take on diverse early-stage tasks to accelerate lab-to-market progress, including process development, market exploration, and engagement with investors, potential partners, or customers.
  • Lead scale-up and process development, validating fiber production and calcination at lab scale (10–100s kg) using a new rotary kiln.
  • Collaborate with the team on technology-to-market strategy, including business models and transitioning technology out of the university.
  • Serve as a bridge between technical development and business strategy.
  • Support fundraising efforts.

Specific duties and responsibilities may vary depending on department or program needs without changing the general nature and scope of the job or level of responsibility. Employees may also perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
  • Publication record or evidence of impactful research.
  • Hands-on laboratory and pilot-scale experimental skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
  • Exposure to techno-economic analysis or commercialization of research technologies.
  • Interest or experience in entrepreneurship, startups, or technology commercialization.
  • Strong communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
