Where the great Paraguay River meets the even larger Parana river, the water rebounds and overflows the banks.  The amazing delta system spreads for miles as two rivers converge and the water carves a giant network of underground tunnels, large sandy lakes, and slow flowing streams spread across the country side. The name of this area is the Ñeembucú Wetland Complex. Located in Southwestern Paraguay, this area has been heavily understudied. Home to squirmy eels, tiny minnows, hundreds of cichlids, and giant stingrays, this mosaic habitat is certainly hiding new species for science. Para La Tierra is searching for talented and hardworking research interns to join our team in Paraguay for 3 to 6 months. Our internship program provides young biologists an opportunity to step out of the classroom and into the field, gaining hands-on experience running a research project of their own design. Before arriving, our interns are challenged to come up with a research topic, review the relevant literature, and create a methodology with the support of our intern-supervisor. Towards the end of the stay, all our interns give a final presentation in which they share the results of their study with the rest of the research team. The internship program is designed to give young scientists the opportunity to take control of every step of a scientific project. From conception to completion, our interns are in the driver seat. When was the last time that your professor gave you the option to choose what you wanted to study? When was the last time your boss told you to follow your own passion? At Para La Tierra, we specialize in training young biologists in the skills they need to enter further education or the job market. Based in Paraguay, the ‘heart of South America,’ we are the country’s only year-round research station. Over the past 9 years, we have published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and discovered a few new species for science. Along the way, over 250 interns have helped contribute to the better understanding of Paraguay’s understudied habitats. Our ichthyology team is focusing on establishing a bio-geographical inventory of species to define just how much the species communities vary by micro-habitat. By comparing the community structure found in the different areas of the delta system we hope to find areas of interest to evolutionary biology. This confluence is a meeting place of many species and the network of temporary floodplains often leads to extended isolation events. Whether you’ve a proven interest in ichthyology or just beginning your career as a conservation biologist, this internship gives you the opportunity to design your own project and execute a methodology of your own design. Our research base is located in the city of Pilar, a beautiful location in the south of Paraguay, and the gateway to the Ñeembucú Wetland Complex (NWC). The NWC is composed of a mosaic of habitats, including grasslands, marches and humid Chaco. Deep forests lining the rivers and streams running through the area are bursting with wildlife, while river monsters the size of small cars lurk in the murky waters. Come discover for yourself what Paraguay has to offer. Our interns finish the program taking away a long list of newly learned skills, a professional reference, and one heck of an experience to share at their next interview. But they also leave behind a great deal. All of our intern projects are directly involved in conserving this threatened habitat. The scientific investigations of the area help raise awareness of the ecological importance of Ñeembucu at both the national and international levels. The most successful projects are published in scientific journals, further raising the profile of Paraguay, and many interns make their way onto the author line for the first time in their early careers through their work with Para La Tierra.     The application period is rolling and there are no start or end dates, so the trip can be organized to suit the project and the person. Interns must be available to stay for a minimum of three months. Applicants must be over 18 years old and have or be working towards a degree in a biology related subject. Conversational English is required. To apply please email your CV to  paralatierra.py@gmail.com . Costs – Because the best things in life aren’t free.  $925 per month for the 1st 2 months and $875 for each subsequent month.   Para La Tierra charges interns to cover costs of room and board. The price includes all living costs during their stay with us. Interns receive three meals a day, a bed in shared accommodation with hot showers and access to WiFi. The fee also covers the use of PLT’s scientific equipment, minor administrative costs associated with the stay, and a small contribution to Para La Tierra's conservation and education projects.   Weekly basis pro rata payments are accepted in special cases. There is a 25% discount for South American nationals.

Para La Tierra is searching for talented and hardworking research interns to join our team in Paraguay for 3 to 6 months. Our internship program provides young biologists an opportunity to step out of the classroom and into the field, gaining hands-on experience running a research project of their own design. Based in the center of the Ñeembucú Wetland System, Para La Tierra’s research team has been investigating the behavior, ecology, and social structure of the Black-&-Gold Howler monkey. Our research station offers an incredible opportunity to study these highly adaptable arboreal primates in a variety of different habitats, from riparian forests to the city parks. As tropical forests continue to disappear, it is increasingly important to understand how wild animals can survive alongside human populations. Para La Tierra is interested in understanding how the primates are affected by the urban environment of the city of Pilar, how their behavior varies from that of the groups located outside the city, and what can be done to better protect the wild animals from the negative effects of the near constant human-wildlife interaction.   Primate Behaviour Research Interns are challenged to further our collective understanding of the Howler monkeys found in Ñeembucú. With the help of our expert on-site primatologist, each intern creates their own methodology, collects independent data, analyses their results, and presents their findings. The focus of the study will be completely defined by the intern’s own interests. Previous interns have studied: Parasitology, Human-Wildlife Interactions, Acoustic Behaviour, Social Structure, and much more.   When was the last time that your professor gave you the option to choose what you wanted to study?

Title: Wilderness Fellow Reports To: SWS National Program Director Classification: Hourly Location: 2 Positions are available, located in the following: Rhinelander, Wisconsin and Lake City, Florida. Duration: Wisconsin: September 16, 2019 – March 9, 2020; Florida: September 16, 2019 – June 19, 2020 Time: Full Time, Seasonal Salary: $600 weekly stipend Benefits: 1 earned personal day per month (vacation is not eligible to be cashed out at any time) and federal holidays; Forest Service housing provided or a monthly housing stipend will be provided. Closing Date: August 23rd, 2019   Partners The Society for Wilderness Stewardship (SWS) is a non-profit organization seeking to promote excellence in the professional practice of wilderness stewardship, science, and education to ensure the life-sustaining benefits of wilderness.  In other words, we are a professional society working to set the standard for wilderness management.    The Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute (Leopold) is dedicated to the development and dissemination of knowledge needed to improve management of wilderness, parks, and similarly protected areas.  Leopold was established in 1993 under the Rocky Mountain Research Station and has been the wilderness research arm of federal agencies ever since.  The Institute operates under an interagency agreement among the federal agencies that have wilderness management or research responsibility – the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.   The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) was founded by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905, and today oversees 445 wilderness areas, or 33% of the National Wilderness Preservation System.  Inaugural Chief of the USFS, Gifford Pinchot, stated that the USFS existed to “provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run.”   Program Overview The Wilderness Fellows Program is a collaborative of the three organizations above, and was created in order to complete Wilderness Character Baseline Assessments, thereby continuing important assessment work that has been underway since 2001, and fulfilling the USFS Wilderness Stewardship Performance (WSP) element “Wilderness Character Baseline”.  The Wilderness Character Baseline requires that steps be made to determine a baseline and provide the foundation for evaluating trends in wilderness character.  These trends indicate the outcome of management actions and success at ‘preserving wilderness character’ as directed by the Wilderness Act.   As stated in Keeping It Wild 2: An Updated Interagency Strategy to Monitor Trends in Wilderness Character Across the National Wilderness Preservation System (Landres et. al, 2015), “the results of wilderness character monitoring provide [agency staff who manage wilderness day-to-day, and regional and national staff who develop wilderness policy and assess its effectiveness] some of the key data they need to improve wilderness stewardship and wilderness policy.”  The report goes on to say that, “Implementing this monitoring strategy does not guarantee the preservation of wilderness character, but it informs and improves wilderness stewardship, and ensures managers are accountable to the central mandate of the 1964 Wilderness act – to preserve wilderness character.”   In 2001, the USFS Wilderness Monitoring Committee developed the first national framework for Wilderness Character Monitoring (WCM).  Progression was attained by the USFS in 2006 with WCM pilot testing occurring in every FS region, the publication of the Applying the Concept of Wilderness Character to National Forest Planning, Monitoring and Management in 2008, and the 2009 distribution of the Technical Guide for Monitoring Selected Conditions Related to Wilderness Character .     The USFS and Leopold now stand at the brink of publishing the second generation Technical Guide (expected June 2019), a tool that promises to advance WCM across the nation.  Wilderness Fellows will apply the tools in the Technical Guide to carry out wilderness character baseline assessments.  Fellows will complete base level work for numerous wilderness areas that will inform future targeted assessments.   Position Overview The Wilderness Fellow Program is seeking qualified candidates to fill Wilderness Fellow positions.  Fellows are based in locations around the country, with a significant amount of travel within their base region.   Work is roughly 80% office based and 20% field based, and is performed at USFS offices to directly support the goals of a collaborative wilderness character monitoring initiative currently underway in the USFS.   Primary Wilderness Fellow Responsibilities Attend one week training in Granby, Colorado (travel provided). Work out of remote USFS locations, residing in USFS housing. Coordinate meetings with USFS resource specialists and line officers to gather information regarding wilderness character. Research, compile and analyze legislative and administrative historical data per wilderness area. Travel to and into wilderness areas. Compile and analyze data for selected monitoring indicators and complete components of a baseline assessment for wilderness character monitoring. Implement inventory and monitoring strategies for tracking wilderness character. Participate in weekly conference calls. Set and meet benchmarks and deadlines for data collection, meetings, and draft and final reports. Create a narrative report for each wilderness area worked in.   Key Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in a related field, Master’s degree preferred. Educational background in Wilderness Management, Protected Area/Natural Resource Management, Recreation Resource Management, Conservation Social Science, Environmental Policy, Natural, Biological and/or Physical Science. Deep interest in wilderness/resource management and the U.S. Forest Service. Outstanding written and oral communication skills. Research skill and attention to detail and organization. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on projects, high degree of initiative. Understanding and ability to use GIS is a plus. Results-oriented with the ability to set and follow realistic goals and objectives. Flexibility to adapt when faced with changing needs and priorities. Proficiency with Microsoft Office, comfort with technology. Ability to travel to training and remote field locations (travel provided), and to relocate if necessary (assistance not provided).   To Apply: E-mail a resume, cover letter, a one-to-two page writing sample, and three professional or academic references to Heather MacSlarrow at: hiringmanager@wildernessstewardship.org   Essential Functions: Employee may be required to sit, stand, and lift objects up to 50 lbs.  Employee may be required to travel and camp in the backcountry, and to drive or fly to remote project locations.    The Society for Wilderness Stewardship is an equal opportunity employer.
