Renowned for its accredited researched-based undergraduate field programs, Wildlands Studies seeks candidates holding an MSc or PhD to be the Lead Instructor for new field programs. Students consistently report that their Wildlands Studies experience added depth and meaning to their on-campus classes and “changed their lives”. Wildlands Studies instructors enhance their own credentials with unique opportunities to teach in the field while engaging students in active research.
The Lead Instructor will direct students on an academically rigorous, wilderness-based six-week field study to explore habitats and cultures of specific international locales, with the aim to offer the course repeatedly each year. Students earn 15 quarter credits for three field classes covering Environmental Studies, Field Research Practices, and Environment and Culture.

A qualified Lead Instructor will have experience leading field study programs and teaching at the undergraduate level, specifically upper division environmental studies classes; a good sense of humor, flexibility, patience, and understanding; and the know-how to work with and manage 16 students and the group dynamics that occur on a six-week field study.
Program Dates
We are currently accepting proposals for our 2020-2021 academic year (Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021, Spring 2021). We especially need a new international six-week program starting Summer 2020, and would like to add one more international six week program in Spring 2021. Our instructors tend to stay for several years, and strong candidates would need to be in a position to establish a program in 2020-2021 and continue to lead for at least a couple following years. Locations that include a wildlife study are always preferred. Review www.wildlandsstudies.com for details.

Earthjustice is hiring two attorneys to join our team of lawyers and advocates who are using the power of the law to protect our oceans. The attorneys will focus primarily on work with foreign nongovernmental organizations and institutions to develop and implement innovative strategies and litigation to protect keystone, highly migratory marine predator species from threats stemming from bycatch, overfishing, and pollution in select countries. The attorneys will also engage in and support litigation in U.S. courts to protect these same species.
Earthjustice’s Oceans Program works to protect oceans and ocean wildlife from threats such as overfishing, pollution, and habitat degradation. Our team includes six full-time attorneys who litigate cases in U.S. federal courts aimed at protecting ocean resources.

The associate attorney position is a three-year position. This program is designed to help attorneys develop into thoughtful, professional, and effective advocates skilled in the various phases of public interest litigation. Some associates have gone on to other positions within Earthjustice, while others use the experience as a springboard to other career opportunities in environmental litigation or with other public interest organizations.
Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We take on the biggest, most precedent-setting cases across the country. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people’s health; to preserve magnificent places and wildlife; to advance clean energy; and to combat climate change.
