During pilot testing, the following units will post open positions in this new system:

Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences – SEBS (staff positions)
Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy (selected faculty positions)
University Human Resources – UHR (staff positions)
Rutgers University-Camden (All Staff Positions)
Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences – RBHS (All Staff Positions; includes Central Administration positions which support RBHS)

In order to review postings on the new Rutgers jobs website, click here. You will be required to create a new profile in order to apply to jobs posted in this system.

For information regarding internal URA-AFT postings in the above-referenced units, click here.

For all other legacy Rutgers and legacy UMDNJ postings, including legacy Rutgers internal URA-AFT postings in units not associated with the new job system pilot program, click on " Job Openings" in the main menu.
