**Languages:** Uzbek (fluent); working English (short written reports, messages). Russian is a plus.
**About the project**
Geoclara works with farmers in Surkhandarya to turn crop waste (such as cotton stalks) into biochar, a soil improver that also stores carbon. Farmers benefit, and the carbon removed is certified and sold internationally. We work alongside the AKIS agricultural extension network.
**What you’ll do**
* Visit farms and villages, and help farmers and extension staff run biochar production correctly
* Train farmers and AKIS staff on biochar production and quality checks (we train you first)
* Help farmers use our mobile app to record their work, and fix problems when they come up
* Collect and label biochar samples and take moisture readings, following simple procedures
* Check that field records are complete and correct, and follow up on gaps
* Send regular updates to the Geoclara Project Manager
**Who we’re looking for**
* Degree or diploma in agronomy, agriculture, environmental science or a related field, or practical experience in farming or extension work
* Comfortable working outdoors with farmers and travelling between villages
* Confident with smartphone apps; basic Excel or Google Sheets
* Organised, reliable and good with people
* Experience in extension, field surveys or project monitoring (e.g. with World Bank, GIZ or UNDP projects) is a plus, not required
**What we offer**
Full training in biochar, carbon certification and digital monitoring. Hands-on experience in a fast-growing international climate field. A path to a longer-term role.
