Engagement: Full-time preferred; open to a consulting or part-time arrangement for the right candidate

About The Role

Varaha is hiring a Senior Carbon Modeler to advance the modeling science behind our agricultural carbon projects. We are looking for someone who has taken a Model Validation Report (MVR) from start to finish and can bring that end-to-end experience to a function ready to scale.Agricultural carbon projects live or die on the strength of the underlying model. Varaha is looking for a scientist who has already been through the full arc of a Model Validation Report from calibration to registry submission and is ready to bring that judgment to a modeling function that's scaling quick.

You'll drive calibration, validation, and uncertainty quantification for our VM0042 (and equivalent) projects, stand behind the modeling approach in front of VVBs and outside reviewers, and turn what has historically been ad-hoc scripting into version-controlled, reproducible pipelines that work across geographies.



You'll partner closely with our Modeling Lead and Carbon Project Lead, and coordinate day-to-day with the India-based science team despite the time difference.

Core responsibilities

Run VMD0053-compliant calibration, validation, and uncertainty quantification for VM0042 projects covering both structural validation and project-specific back-modeling.
Write Model Validation Reports and personally handle VVB and third-party evaluator queries, including Corrective Action Requests and Clarification Requests on the modeling side.
Design and build Python-based modeling pipelines meant to be reused across regions properly versioned in Git, not throwaway notebooks.
Defend model selection, parameter choices, and uncertainty treatment in writing, across PDDs, monitoring reports, and rebuttals to reviewer pushback.
Help set the technical standard for the modeling team as it grows.
