About Us and Our Philosophy:

Founded in 2001, SMASH is an Oakland-based nonprofit organization that operates SMASH Academy, a year-round STEM-focused program that serves underrepresented high school students. In tandem, SMASH conducts research examining inequity in access and opportunity across K-12, higher education, and workplace contexts in order to improve the outcomes for underrepresented students in STEM fields.

SMASH Academy is a three-year STEM residential academic acceleration program for motivated, high school students from underrepresented populations (African-American, Latinx/Hispanic, Southeast Asian and/or Pacific Islander, and Native American), who have demonstrated an aptitude for science and math. During the summer component, SMASH provides accelerated classes rooted in solving real-world problems and exposure to STEM fields; the academic rigor is alloyed with a strong community experience in residential dorms to introduce our scholars to a university environment. During the academic year, SMASH provides computer science courses, scholarship workshops, college counseling, community events and further exposure to STEM opportunities.

SMASH will be operating a 3-week Hybrid Academy model for Summer 2023 with the first 2 weeks in person and the last week being virtual.

All scholars and staff will be required to comply with the SMASH vaccine mandate for SMASH Academy in-person programming. However, vaccine exemptions will be considered based on medical exemptions, disability accommodation, or religious objection on a case by case basis. If a quarantine mandate is enforced by local government, university, or SMASH, all SMASH Academy programming will be held virtually.

SMASH will follow all guidelines and requirements set by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as well as local, state, and county guidelines which may include but not limited to:

  • Mask requirements
  • Regular COVID testing at the site
  • Physical distancing requirements

As we look forward to finally being able to bring the magic of the SMASH experience to students and alumni in-person this summer, we also remain focused on ensuring the health and safety of all program participants – both in light of the current pandemic and beyond. Our leadership is finalizing plans for the summer program working closely with internal task forces and outside medical experts. We are committed to ensuring that our students are able to fully participate in SMASH programming – and the connections, interactions, and experiences that come with it – within a comprehensive and pragmatic approach to reducing exposure and protecting the health of our students, alumni, faculty, and staff. We are currently finalizing our policy in accordance with applicable public health guidelines regarding COVID-19. We expect to offer further clarity in early 2023.

This is not for the faint of heart. But if you think you have what it takes to dare to change the face of STEM, join us.

The Opportunity:

Working at SMASH Academy is about personal growth, commitment, and the tenacity to challenge the pedagogical status quo. SMASH Academy offers a unique environment for scholars and staff alike to focus on their interests in STEM education and explore cutting-edge practices. SMASH is seeking to hire individuals who will contribute to our larger aim of developing our scholars to be STEM practitioners who are civically aware and social justice oriented, equipped to employ their STEM knowledge and skills for the betterment of their local, national, and global communities.

Although the majority of the position will function as described below, some aspects are subject to change due to evolving program needs.

About the Role:

The SMASH Residential Team is comprised of the Residential Director, Head Residential Advisors (HRAs), and Residential Advisors (RAs). The HRAs, with the direction of the RD, manage the RAs.

The Residential Director (RD) requires a part time commitment prior to SMASH Academy and full time commitment during the summer program. Prior to SMASH Academy launching, in collaboration with the Site Director (SD), the RD is responsible for pre-launch essential duties including: recruiting, hiring, and onboarding a residential team, planning residential team training, attending weekly meetings and supporting their respective Site Management Team (SMT).

Upon launch of SMASH Academy, this position becomes a full time position with the RD being the primary director and supervisor of the Residential Team and Program.

The RD is responsible for a) the schedule, planning, and delivery of SMASH residential programming and curriculum and b) the wellness and youth development of 35-105 high school students living on campus. The RD fosters a clean, safe, positive, and inclusive environment that encourages SMASH scholars to develop their full potential. The RD also acts as a leader and role model for both scholars and staff — defining culture, norms, activities and interactions that assure an enriching and socially just experience conducive to scholar success in STEM. In summary, the individual will plan for and oversee all residential and youth development components of SMASH Academy. The RD will be primarily engaged in providing academic instruction to SMASH Scholars.

This assignment is approximately 4 months and is a part time position starting in March 2023, then moving to a full time engagement for approximately 3 weeks. The position requires living on campus full time with evening and weekend work requirements. While there are communication protocols and supports in place, the RD is the daily 24-hour fallback on-call for the duration of SMASH Academy.

As this role has a virtual component, we expect staff to provide the following — their own personal computer (desktop or laptop) that has a working webcam, speaker and microphone for video conferencing capabilities (i.e. Zoom, Google Hangouts, Cisco Webex); reliable Internet connection (at least 25 Mbps download speed); and quiet work space for virtual programming. An electronic stipend will be provided to help cover internet/equipment (i.e. laptop/computer) costs. If you cannot provide your own equipment, please speak with your Site Director.
