Student Program Leaders
Round River Conservation Studies (RRCS) is seeking enthusiastic Student Program Leaders for upcoming undergraduate conservation programs in southern Chile (Patagonia; the Chacabuco Valley, near Cochrane).
RRCS is an international non-profit organization dedicated to developing conservation strategies to preserve and restore wild places through conservation science and environmental education. RRCS offers field-based academic programs that are integrated directly into current conservation efforts with local communities. Programs are limited to small groups of students to provide a first-hand experience of the scientific, social and political aspects of community conservation. Positions involve living and working on-site at remote field stations, and some travel in the program country for a 3 month duration.
Description:
Schedule and lead program activities; manage logistics and safety; collaborate with local partners and senior RRCS staff to conduct research; teach conservation biology, biological field methods, natural history, restoration ecology and human ecology; facilitate group discussions; and encourage students’ understanding of complex conservation issues in the context of the local region. Student group size will be 7 to 11 university students this spring. We will staff 2 or 3 program leaders/instructors. Because this is a live-in position, it can present unique learning experiences, as well as challenges, and leaders must be available and approachable to students at all times.
Qualifications:
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the student programs, preferred program leaders must have well-rounded experience in education, field research, and community outreach.
*MSc in natural science or a related field, and at least 2 years of field experience
*Teaching experience at an undergraduate level
*Experience managing field-based student programs
*Demonstrated ability to design field research studies and/or community projects
*Current Wilderness First Responder and CPR certification (preferred)
*Prefer previous experience traveling or living in program location
*Spanish proficiency (fluency preferred)
*Great interpersonal skills, high-energy levels, and lots of patience
Salary/Benefits: US $2,500 per month, plus room/board, travel costs, and evacuation insurance.
Program dates:
January 17 – April 11, 2013 (plus approximately 2 weeks for pre-program preparations and a few days after the program for wrap-up)
