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. Once in-country, interns are trained in the field techniques required for their project. Whether its mist-netting for birds in the early hours of the morning, fishing at mid-day or staying out late hunting for frogs, PLT will make sure that our interns are confident in the methodology needed to move their research forward. 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 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.

THREE SESSIONS AVAILABLE
Spring: March 16 – May 31, 2020 Summer: June 8 – September 4, 2020 Fall: September 1 – November 6, 2020
SUMMARY
The Instructor Apprenticeship at Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School is a 10-week program meant to prepare participants to become full-time Field Instructors at the end of their apprenticeship. During the 10-week program, apprentices perform essentially two types of work: shadowing and support. Through shadowing on both Day Programs and Expeditions, apprentices observe, try, and experience what makes an excellent Outward Bound program with the support of seasoned instructors. Apprentices also provide invaluable logistical support to the base. Through working logistical support, apprentices also gain an inside look at how our base operates and the work that goes into creating a successful program. Both program shadowing and logistical support work provide apprentices with experiences and knowledge that will serve them immensely as instructors. Because the organization invests so much in the development of apprentices, we ask that applicants have both interest and ability to instruct at Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School for at least one year, but preferably more, after their apprenticeship.
During the spring and fall seasons, we partner with nearby public, charter, and independent schools to deliver 5-day peer leadership expeditions. In the summer, we welcome students from around the world on longer 7 to 12-day expeditions. We backpack on the Appalachian Trail and in the Dolly Sods Wilderness, canoe on the Potomac River, and sea kayak on the Nanticoke River near the Chesapeake Bay. Similarly, our day programs serve mostly school students during the spring and fall. Over the summer, groups of summer enrichment programs, camps, or mentorship groups. Each week throughout the year, we run the Police Youth Challenge – a program designed to bring students from Baltimore and Baltimore Police Officers together for a day of building trust and breaking down bias.
From mid-November to mid-March, our base shuts down for the winter months. During this time, instructors often travel, find other work in education or the service industry, and pursue other interests. A few stick around base to work the PYC program each week.
Located in the 1,216 acre Gwynns Falls Leakin Park in Baltimore, MD, Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School provides the best of both worlds. The base is within city limits, with easy access to Baltimore, while still being in a huge, wooded park.
