The CC Lab is Hiring!
Join us on our mission to scale novel and neglected solutions to climate change.
The Carbon Containment Lab (CC Lab) is hiring summer research interns to contribute to our mission of developing innovative greenhouse gas reduction and containment approaches. Interns will support a range of programs and projects aiming to advance the implementation of natural and engineered climate solutions. Interns will be expected to work 40 hours per week at a pay rate of $20/hr.
Start and end dates may be flexible depending on the intern’s needs or project assignment. We will review applications on a rolling basis. We value a broad array of experiences, perspectives, and excellence. If you share our passion for climate work, we encourage you to apply. We strongly prefer that interns work on-site from our office in New Haven, Connecticut.
Ideal candidate profile:
Desire to tackle the challenge of climate change with innovative and interdisciplinary approaches.
Demonstrated interest in areas including climate change mitigation and adaptation, carbon removal/reduction, environmental policy/science, and clean energy and technology.
Flexible, creative thinker who can learn quickly and apply new concepts to solve climate problems.
Proactive self-starter, resourceful, detail-oriented, with the abilities to multi-task, learn quickly, stay organized, and work in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills, as well as written and verbal communication skills.

About the CC Lab:
The Carbon Containment Lab is a public charity advancing research and education for a public benefit. We apply scientific, entrepreneurial, and investment expertise to develop and support emergent climate solutions.
We approach the race against climate change as both a sprint and a marathon. Our sprint involves immediate work on the mitigation of short-lived superpollutants, and our marathon focuses on building the long-term capacity for the removal and storage of carbon dioxide. In both cases, we focus on areas where we can move great ideas into scaled implementation. We accomplish this work in a number of ways, including by building partnerships and coalitions, developing scientific trials and tools for publication, and through education to build trust and confidence in high-quality climate solutions.
