We are looking for a qualified individual to join our Plant Medicine Inventory Project. Working with a local informant, we will identify, photograph, and help write a guide to Aquicuana’s plants. Pisatahua is an integrative plant-medicine retreat located in the Aquicuana Reserve.

The selected candidate will create informational material identifying the names, properties, and traditional uses of plants and trees in the Aquicuana Reserve. Following a well-maintained trail, he/she will create a user-friendly map so locals and guests can traverse the trail while learning about Amazonian plant medicines.

The selected candidate will work alongside local healers and specialists to understand the role of traditional healing practices, including primary plant species and their uses. They will work at the intersection of contemporary and traditional medicine as it is used, shared, implemented, and recounted in the Bolivian Amazon. This position provides the unique opportunity to gain an understanding of traditional plant-medicine practices while helping to preserve the local knowledge of indigenous peoples.
