JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: Ecological Educator, Institute for Applied Ecology
The Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to conserve native
species and habitats through restoration, research and education. Our Southwest Program works in New
Mexico and Arizona. We cultivate partnerships to facilitate large-scale, regional conservation projects,
develop ecologically appropriate sources of native seed, provide native species education opportunities
and materials, and conduct on-the-ground habitat restoration and applied research.
IAE Southwest Program seeks to hire an Albuquerque-based Ecological Educator that will work with our
Santa Fe office education staff to deliver the 2018 Forest Bound summer program
(https://appliedeco.org/forest-bound-launches/ ). The Forest Bound program utilizes place-based,
interdisciplinary lessons from the native plant curriculum “From Ponderosa to Prickly Pear, Exploring the
Native Plants of New Mexico” (https://appliedeco.org/programs/education/about-projectbotany/project-botany-new-mexico/).
The goal of Forest Bound is to provide an opportunity for Santa
Fe and Albuquerque high school students to learn about careers in natural resources and gain skills in
native plant ecology in an experiential learning setting.
