[MCN] Ecology Project International is Hiring: Bitterroot Wildlife Internship Field Instructors

[Alexei Desmarais]

Ecology Project International (EPI) is hiring two field instructors to
mentor, supervise, and deliver academic content for 12 high school interns
this summer.

The Bitterroot Wildlife Internship (BWI) program is a partnership between
Ecology Project International (EPI) and MPG Ranch that offers a unique
experience for high school students that combines ecological education,
conservation service, and hands-on field research at MPG Ranch in Florence,
Montana from *June-August*. Interns will be paired with MPG staff or
affiliates to assist with ongoing research, service, or outreach projects
and complete their own related research project. Field instructors will
mentor, supervise, and manage the intern experience.

Bitterroot Wildlife Internship instructors will spend Sunday
afternoon-Thursday of each week at the ranch leading interns to complete
conservation service projects (approximately 10hrs/week), conduct
ecological research (approximately 16hrs/week), and learn about the
Bitterroot Valley’s ecosystem (approximately 6 hrs/week). Instructors and
interns will camp in a designated campsite on the ranch Sunday-Thursday.
Conservation projects on the ranch might include pulling invasive weeds,
removing fencing, and gathering native seeds. Potential research
involvement includes avian, soil, plant, ungulate, and insect projects.
Instructors will also teach Leave No Trace awareness, guide wildlife
observation, and mentor the interns in nature journaling.

Instructors will work approximately 53 days from the beginning of June
through the end of August and will be paid $120/day for Monday-Thursday
field days and $60 for Sunday half-days. Instructors will be expected to
work at least four hours in EPI’s Missoula office on Fridays, and this
office-based work will be paid at $15/hour. This position is based in
Missoula, Montana.
