Rutgers University released a staffing update showing 46 new job postings across its New Jersey campuses, alongside 114 positions that were removed. The changes span clinical, academic, research, IT, and facilities roles at locations including New Brunswick, Camden, Newark, Piscataway, Bridgeton, and Plainfield, reflecting a broad realignment of workforce needs.
The added roles cover a mix of clinical support, nursing, postdoctoral and research appointments, faculty and lecturing positions, program management, IT support, and facilities operations.
