At AIR COMPANY we are paving a pathway to global decarbonization by transforming CO₂ into endless resources via industrial scale applications. Working with nature, rather than against it, our proprietary AIRMADE™ Technology mimics photosynthesis to transform carbon dioxide and water via renewable energy into carbon-negative chemicals and fuels.
We have commercial partnerships with airlines including JetBlue and Virgin Atlantic, amongst others, and have been awarded multiple government contracts from NASA and the United States Department of Defense. AIR COMPANY has received industry recognition through awards such as Time Best Inventions, Fast Company World Changing Ideas and the XPRIZE for Carbon Removal.
We are proudly headquartered in New York City and co-founded by Gregory Constantine (CEO) and Dr. Stafford Sheehan (CTO). Our team spans a diverse group of world-leading experts in chemistry, engineering and technological development and deployment. AIR COMPANY is backed by capital partners aligned with the company’s mission to boldly transform industry including the US Department of Defense, NASA, Toyota Ventures, JetBlue Ventures and Carbon Direct.
The Position
We are looking for an undergraduate student to serve as a summer research intern, where they'll support our AIR Scholars program. The AIR Scholars program is a community engagement initiative that includes a 6-week, paid summer internship for high school students from historically disadvantaged communities. The program focuses on climate science education and environmental justice (EJ). This role will report to our Student Research Supervisor (SRS) and will work closely with AIR COMPANY’s Government Affairs & Environmental Social Governance (ESG) team. This individual will support the AIR Scholars 2024 program activities, curriculum development, and research project. To be successful in this role, the undergraduate student should have experience working with high school students and have a background in air quality, public health, and/or climate science, as well as strong quantitative skills. This temporary role will be located in Brooklyn, NY, and will include 10 weeks of work (32 hours/week June 19th-August 16th and 10 hours/week September 9-20th).
The Research Project
This year’s AIR Scholars cohort will conduct research that will quantify air quality and co-pollutants in the Brooklyn area. The research will analyze air quality and pollution in heavily trafficked areas and research historic EJ challenges associated with conventional fuel production and use.
