Institutional Mission:
SFS creates transformative study abroad experiences through field-based learning and research. Our educational programs explore the human and ecological dimensions of the complex environmental problems faced by our local partners, contributing to sustainable solutions in the places where we live and work. The SFS community is part of a growing network of individuals and institutions committed to environmental stewardship.
Position Title:
Lecturer in Conservation Science and Practice
Reports To:
Center Director, Center for Amazon Studies
Dean, Office of Academic Affairs
Location: Tarapoto, Peru
Start Date: July 2024 (on site in Tarapoto by July 22)
Compensation/Benefits:
This is a ten-month contract position with likely renewal depending on successful completion of duties and expectations. Salary is dependent on experience and qualifications. Comprehensive benefits package and on-site room and board included.
Position Summary:
The SFS Center for Amazon Studies, located in Tarapoto, Peru seeks an enthusiastic, team-oriented individual to serve as part of a team of faculty and staff that delivers an interdisciplinary, hands-on learning experience to students spending a semester in Peru. On a contract basis, the Lecturer in Tropical Conservation Science and Practice will deliver the 50-hour Conservation Science and Practice course during the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, during fall and spring, they will co-teach the 50-hour Directed Research course with other faculty members, leading a faculty-developed directed research project with a small group of students.
This position will engage students in a classroom setting, but also through extensive time spent in the field. We encourage faculty to integrate as much fieldwork and hands-on experience into their courses as possible. Faculty are also integral members of the Center’s communal living model, eating and working with the student cohort. SFS programs do not follow a nine to five model.
Additional responsibilities outside of teaching may include participation in community engagement days, involvement in student life, organization of laboratory space, and general Center upkeep. We are especially interested in candidates with experience teaching to a diverse student body, and demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural competence in a learning environment, conservation, and the community of Tarapoto.
Center Focus:
The SFS Center for Amazon Studies seeks to understand both the conflicts and synergies of conservation and development. Students will gain a sense of the richness of the Amazon region—biodiversity, social and cultural diversity, and ecosystem services—while exploring strategies for sustainable livelihoods in this highly productive and diverse region of South America.
The interdisciplinary themes of socio-ecological resilience, environmental justice, and conservation will guide our inquiry. Through coursework, field exercises, and Directed Research, students will study people’s dependence on the environment, examine the threats to the environment and to social networks, and explore the tools and strategies for mitigating the threats and promoting well-being among rural communities. A strong component of the program will be examining the ecological patterns and processes that underpin the high diversity of the region. SFS Position on Diversity and Inclusion:
SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people all around the world. Addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities. We recognize that to successfully address threats to our natural world, we must look beyond social constructs designed to divide us. Just as we value biodiversity in all its forms, we value and engage with a multitude of diverse perspectives and people in the countries where we work and the students and staff we serve.
Duties and Responsibilities:
SFS Lecturer positions are different than many other university teaching positions. Lecturers are integral members of the Center’s communal living model.

Through coursework, field exercises, and Directed Research, students will study people’s dependence on the environment, examine the threats to the environment and to social networks, and explore the tools and strategies for mitigating the threats and promoting well-being among rural communities. A strong component of the program will be examining the ecological patterns and processes that underpin the high diversity of the region. SFS Position on Diversity and Inclusion:
SFS was founded with the belief that stewardship of our planet is the responsibility of people all around the world. Addressing complex global issues requires the active inclusion of stakeholders with varying perspectives and identities.

For non-detained youth and their family members, social workers provide therapeutic support, connection to mental health treatment, medical care, public benefits, and other assistance, as well as ongoing support throughout clients’ legal cases.
In addition to direct client services, RMIAN’s social workers collaborate with local and national partners to educate legal and social service providers, and advocate for positive systemic change for immigrant members of our community.

About The Children's Storefront
The science is clear: back-and-forth interactions between caregivers and children in the first three years of life build the strongest foundation for brain growth and lifelong success, and responsive play is an important tool to build babies’ brains -- yet this research often doesn’t reach the parents who could use it to support their children’s healthy development.
The Children's Storefront has partnered with families in Harlem for over fifty years, and is now laser-focused on bringing the power of responsive interactions and child-led play to our community. Our newly-launched playspace model allows parents and children to learn together, with caregivers practicing the skills that spur brain development while receiving immediate feedback and support from early childhood specialists. Our program has a lasting impact on children, families, and communities, and we hope you'll join us to move this important work forward!
About the Position
Program Coaches deliver The Children’s Storefront’s early childhood program to families across Harlem, New York City, and beyond. Coaches lead in-person group sessions that support caregivers in developing “serve and return” skills (training in our model will be provided). Coaches provide positive feedback to caregivers, and provide insights into the science behind how children’s brain architecture can be built through play and responsive interactions. Coaches also serve as ambassadors for The Children’s Storefront, engaging in outreach activities to promote the program and connect with new families.
Coaches employ a hybrid model – spending part of their time working remotely and part of their time in-person at our playspace in Harlem – and work 35 hours per week. This will include weekends and potentially early evening hours in order to accommodate family schedules; exact schedules will be determined in consultation with the Program Manager. Coaches must be based in New York City. We are specifically seeking candidates that speak both English and Spanish to help us expand our Spanish-language programming.
Primary Responsibilities
Administrative Work
The Coach is responsible for the administrative work necessary in order to deliver high-quality, community-centered programming that is reflective of our organizational values and helps to achieve our strategic goals.
Track attendance in classes over time, as well as important observations, assessments, etc.
Respond in a timely manner to all data requests concerning performance, family engagement, and other programmatic queries
Support communications to caregivers, including sending attendance reminders and other general check-ins via email or phone
Complete light cleaning and tidying of the playspace after all in-person sessions, including cleaning toys and other sessions materials
Program Delivery
The Coach leads our in-person classes, providing guidance to caregivers on early childhood brain development.
Plan weekly curriculum, including activities and focus areas; collaborate with program team to determine monthly themes for sessions and new approaches to support caregivers’ skill development
Deliver program content and explain the research and science behind early childhood brain development in an accessible, engaging way to support the development of responsive parenting skills

About The Children's Storefront
The science is clear: back-and-forth interactions between caregivers and children in the first three years of life build the strongest foundation for brain growth and lifelong success, and responsive play is an important tool to build babies’ brains -- yet this research often doesn’t reach the parents who could use it to support their children’s healthy development.
The Children's Storefront has partnered with families in Harlem for over fifty years, and is now laser-focused on bringing the power of responsive interactions and child-led play to our community. Our newly-launched playspace model allows parents and children to learn together, with caregivers practicing the skills that spur brain development while receiving immediate feedback and support from early childhood specialists. Our program has a lasting impact on children, families, and communities, and we hope you'll join us to move this important work forward!
About the Position
Program Coaches deliver The Children’s Storefront’s early childhood program to families across Harlem, New York City, and beyond. Coaches lead in-person group sessions that support caregivers in developing “serve and return” skills (training in our model will be provided). Coaches provide positive feedback to caregivers, and provide insights into the science behind how children’s brain architecture can be built through play and responsive interactions. Coaches also serve as ambassadors for The Children’s Storefront, engaging in outreach activities to promote the program and connect with new families.
Coaches employ a hybrid model – spending part of their time working remotely and part of their time in-person at our playspace in Harlem – and work 35 hours per week. This will include weekends and potentially early evening hours in order to accommodate family schedules; exact schedules will be determined in consultation with the Program Manager. Coaches must be based in New York City. We are specifically seeking candidates that speak both English and Spanish to help us expand our Spanish-language programming.
