London, United Kingdom Deep Science Ventures Full time

ABOUT DEEP SCIENCE VENTURES

Deep Science Ventures (DSV) is a venture creator, combining available scientific knowledge and founder-type scientists into high-impact ventures, to build a future where both humans and the planet thrive.

DSV operates in 4 sectors: Climate, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals and Computation tackling the challenges defining those areas by taking a first-principles approach and partnering with leading institutions.

In the team we are focusing on driving and accelerating the net-zero carbon transition. We think it is key to deliver innovations in carbon mitigation as well as carbon removal technologies to achieve maximal impact in solving climate change. In investigating carbon mitigation technologies, it will be essential to identify routes by which we can decarbonise heating, avoid material breakdown to CO2 or propose novel materials that can replace carbon intensive matter. Equally maximising CO2 drawdown capacity of biotic, abiotic and artificial strategies and proposing new ways of how CO2 can be stored or utilised are in the centre of our attention. On our path to achieve these outcomes we need to solve numerous constraints related to planet-positive investing, material development, process design and automation.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Associate you will work in close partnership with the Director of Climate, the Head of Scoping, our current and future Founders and other Associates, focusing on systemic analysis or “scoping”, as we call it, of opportunity areas (OAs) for new venture development, identifying the sort of technologies and ventures that should exist but don’t.

While your main focus will be on opportunity analysis, you’ll be involved across all core functions of venture development, including recruitment and team building, business development, fundraising and portfolio management to quickly develop a broad understanding of the scope of all activities within the business.


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

● Research and identify new opportunity areas for building ventures that tackle climate change and the net-zero carbon transition;
● Recruit a team of multidisciplinary founder-type scientists and work together on venture creation;
● Drive the venture creation process from idea generation to pre-seed and seed investments;
● Support fundraising and business development efforts for the sector.

Requirements

  • Deep technical understanding of any of the following disciplines, which will relate to potential applications in the climate space (acquired either through a PhD or MSc with 3+ years of relevant experience in industry):
    • Chemistry
    • Chemical/Process Engineering
    • Electrical Engineering
    • Mechanical Engineering
    • other similar disciplines
  • Demonstrated interest in climate tech e.g. negative emissions technologies, green chemicals, decarbonising transport, power energy systems, solar radiation management, critical minerals;
  • Demonstrated interest in applied science and early stage commercialisation is a plus;
  • Experience in product development is a plus;
  • Demonstrable first principles and creative thinking;
  • Demonstrated level of achievement, taking own initiative and delivering outcome-oriented projects from start to finish. You make things happen.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary;
  • Flexible working environment (remote or hybrid);
  • Rapid personal development and massive learning curve;
  • Working with some of the most ambitious and impact-driven individuals you'll ever find;
  • Being part of building the next generation of climate ventures.
