Field Projects International is a non-profit research and education organization seeking to create quality educational programs related to field biology and tropical ecology. We prioritize hands-on training over classroom lectures, and encourage our instructors to create syllabuses that take full advantage of our extraordinary field sites in order to develop activities that focus on research methods and not theory alone.
We will consider instructors with varying levels of academic qualification, and we do not impose any citizenship restrictions. We have particular interest in those who have expertise in field research
methodologies, as well as those with experience teaching and/or working in the tropics. Instructors with advanced degrees will receive higher compensation, and in order to teach a course for credit instructors must have a Ph.D. or be a doctoral candidate.
