Ecological Careers Beyond Academia

EXPLORING ECOLOGICAL CAREERS

These are a set of articles published in ESA’s Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment Journal.

We’re still looking for articles about ecological/environmental entrepreneurship, education, ecotourism, and science communication, and are open to hearing about other nontraditional ecological career paths outside of academia. All articles in the series are free to read. See the list below for what’s been published so far. Contact Sue Silver, gro.asenull@revliseus for more details or with pre-submission inquiries.
