Ecology Project International - Wildlife Field Ecology Instructors and Interns

Ecology Project International (EPI), a nonprofit organization, is hiring instructors and interns to teach field-based science/conservation/environmental educational programs for high school students in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. EPI offers experiential educational programs to students in a variety of outdoor settings in partnership with professional biologists and ecologists. Our mission is to improve and inspire science education and conservation through field-based student-scientist partnerships. Our programs teach students different concepts related to local ecology, biology, conservation, and leadership. Current hiring is for the Yellowstone Wildlife Ecology Field Program.

 

Field instructors teach ecology and science lessons, lead students in leave no trace techniques as they camp under the stars, guide students in accurately collecting data for research projects as they work alongside scientists, transport students between field sites, adhere to rigorous risk management protocols, and lead students in leadership activities/games.

 Field interns guide students in the preparation of all meals in the field, maintain EPI field equipment, transport students, lead students in leadership activities/games, and support field instructors in conducting all courses. As the season progresses, interns will be called upon to provide relevant ecology and science lessons to students.
