Research Scientistの求人

# Recruitment Background Sagri aims to create carbon credits and MRV services by analyzing soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions through satellite data analysis. To generate carbon credits, it is necessary to prove the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through certification bodies. Therefore, the Sagri R&D team aims to establish a methodology to prove the creation of carbon credits using satellite data and input data from farming apps. We are looking for research scientists to join us in this endeavor. # Mission of the Position The farming application "Sagri" visualizes soil conditions of farmland analyzed by satellite data, helping farmers reduce fertilizer use and contribute to mitigating global warming. This development is supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan. When using fertilizers in agriculture, farmers typically rely on intuition to determine where, how much, and what type of fertilizer to apply. This can lead to excessive use, increasing costs and leaving unabsorbed fertilizer in the soil, which contributes to global warming. Soil testing involves labor-intensive processes of soil collection and laboratory analysis. The "Sagri" app develops AI models to analyze soil components from satellite images, allowing farmers to easily view field conditions on a map. This application helps farmers quickly understand the optimal type and amount of fertilizer to use for each plot. Reducing chemical fertilizers decreases CO2 emissions and creates carbon credits. While the impact of carbon credits on farmer profits is about 2% in Japan, it can be around 15% in emerging countries, significantly improving farmers' revenues. Sagri aims to enhance the income of farmers in developing countries through extensive use of satellite data. # Job Description ◆Specific Job Responsibilities ・Collect data on crop, soil, and greenhouse gas emissions domestically and internationally (mainly overseas) in cooperation with local fieldwork teams. ・Organize and preprocess data to make it ready for training machine learning models and calibrating process-based models. ・Handle individual PoC projects with responsibilities for data collection, analysis, paper writing, and patent applications under mentor guidance. ◆Sagri's Development Environment We already have multiple products with significant growth potential, and the scope of development themes is broad.
