ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
The School of American Ballet (SAB) at Lincoln Center, founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, is the preeminent ballet school in the country. Our mission is to train professional dancers for careers in classical ballet.
During the Winter Term (September-June), sixty-four Advanced students reside on-site at the School in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall, a facility shared with the Juilliard School. During SAB’s 5-week Summer Course (June and July), 200 middle school and high school students reside on campus.
STUDENT LIFE DEPARTMENT
SAB’s Department of Student Life is dedicated to fostering and promoting a well-rounded approach to the emotional, social, physical, cultural, intellectual, and academic spheres of SAB students’ lives. The Department’s work is deeply engrained into the SAB student experience and aims to enhance students’ artistic training by supporting them fully outside of the studios. At times, the Summer Course Assistant role will require a level of physical exertion beyond sitting. Move-in and move-out periods will require longer stretches of activity and physical tasks such as lifting, sorting, and organizing. Duty and on-call responsibilities may result in disrupted sleep or longer workdays without prior notice. A successful candidate will show the ability to balance their self-care and well-being with the responsibilities of the Summer Course Residence Director position.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Residence Director (RD) role was created to provide live-in supervision for approximately 190 students from ages 11-18, who live in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall at the School of American Ballet for the 5-week training intensive known as the Summer Course. Summer Course Residence Directors will work as part of the Student Life department, providing 24-hour supervision in all aspects of the student experience, including during chaperoned trips, in responding to emergencies, and in enforcing curfew and sign-out procedures. Summer Course Residence Directors will also provide oversight and direction to Summer Course Assistant staff during their scheduled shifts, reporting staff performance concerns to the Assistant Directors and Senior Manager of Student Life.
A successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to consistently enforce School policy and procedure, while developing professional rapport with students that supports a positive community atmosphere where all students feel safe and respected.
SAB will provide RD staff members with a fully furnished, private studio apartment in the Residence Hall, where they are required to reside. During employment, Summer Course Residence Directors may host guests within their apartments with supervisor approval.
Dance experience is not required or preferred. Diverse applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
