This week’s cool biology job is actually a whole suite of seasonal teaching positions for the Broadreach Adventure Programs.  They are looking for instructors for college level courses in tropical marine biology, temperate marine mammal studies, primatology, shark ecology, nature photography and many more.  Courses are between 1 and 5 weeks, and they take place at various locations around the globe including Fiji, the Caribbean, South Africa and British Columbia.

Courses focus on hands-on study of various topics, and they combine classroom learning, practical application of skills, labs and field survey techniques, along with cultural activities, service learning and adventure activities.  In addition to instructional duties you will be expected to live with the students and facilitate positive group dynamics, personal growth and development of leadership.
