The SFS program on Conservation, Ethics, and Environmental Change, located in Cambodia 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 abroad. The SFS Center for Conservation and Development Studies offers a rich learning landscape for students where complex issues of conservation, environmental ethics, and sustaining rural livelihoods takes place within the context of a nation steeped with intriguing histories and pursuing aggressive economic development plans.
On a contract basis, teach the Ecosystems and Livelihoods course during the fall and spring semesters and teach one-third of the Directed Research course. Contribute to student learning in the areas of livelihood strategies, and community-based natural resource management. Lead designated components of the program’s research plan and, as part of this, oversee, mentor, and guide student directed research projects.

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.

Program Focus:
This program seeks to understand both the conflicts and synergies of conservation and development. Students gain a sense of the richness of the greater Mekong region—biodiversity, social and cultural diversity, and ecosystem services—while exploring strategies for sustainable livelihoods within Cambodia, a highly productive and diverse country in Southeast Asia.

The interdisciplinary themes of socio-ecological resilience, environmental ethics and justice, and conservation guide our inquiry. Through coursework, field exercises, and Directed Research, students study people’s dependence on the environment, examine various threats to the environment and to livelihood resilience, and explore the tools and strategies for mitigating the threats and promoting well-being among rural communities.

Course Description: Ecosystems and Livelihoods along the Mekong
This course examines the natural ecosystems of Cambodia and the ways in which the human landscape interacts with the broad range of ecosystem types found within the country, from coastal zones to forested highlands. Students examine ecosystem characteristics and explore the intersection of socio-ecological, cultural, political and socio-economic attributes of Cambodian society and local communities as they learn the ways in which ecosystems are utilized, protected and developed. Through field studies across Cambodia, the course investigates the livelihood strategies employed by fishers, farmers, traders, and indigenous communities and highlights the high levels of natural resource dependence within rural communities. Students explore the critical challenges facing the conservation of natural resources and the primary drivers of change in local livelihood strategies. With an understanding of on-the-ground realities students analyze attempts by international and national actors to find a sustainable balance between human needs and preserving biodiversity.

Course Description: Directed Research
The aim of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to apply ecological, biological, and/or social-scientific methods to a field research project that addresses a local issue related to the environment. We also investigate the ways that various methods and theories distinguish (or don’t) fact from interpretation, cause from correlation, and advocacy from objectivity. The directed research topics are derived from the SFS Center’s Strategic Research Plan as defined by the Center staff and local stakeholders. Through the Directed Research project, students contribute to a growing body of scientific research that informs local conservation and resource management decisions. SFS program lecturers lead a small group of students in this research component of the program.
