About The Position

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at SUNY Oswego is hiring an Assistant Director of the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP). CSTEP is funded by the New York State Department of Education and aims to increase the number of historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students pursuing professional licensure and careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and health-related fields. The program provides structured services to support students’ academic and professional success. This is a full-time, 12-month position based on the SUNY Oswego campus; it is not a New York State position. The Assistant Director will help the director carry out program activities and support the student experience, from recruitment and application review through advising, workshops, and career readiness. The role also involves student records and eligibility data, budget and stipend processes, supervision of students and student workers, outreach, reporting, and collaboration with campus and community partners. The position contributes to SUNY Oswego’s efforts to foster inclusion, belonging, cultural safety, and effective engagement with a diverse community. Some travel and evening work may be required.
