Faculty and Staff Affairs

The Office of Faculty and Staff Affairs supports the mission of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in the pursuit of excellence in education, research, health care delivery and the promotion of community health by facilitating the recruitment, appointment, promotion, and retention of distinguished faculty.

The office serves as support for the Dean’s Committee on Appointments and Promotions, maintains faculty records, oversees the process of faculty evaluation, serves as liaison between the department chairs, faculty and their staffs and the university’s Office of Academic Affairs with regard to faculty issues.

All faculty and staff policies and practices follow guidelines set by Rutgers Health and Rutgers University Human Resources.

Prospective Faculty and Recruitment

Information for Faculty

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School is committed to supporting faculty excellence. Discover essential resources from onboarding, to professional development and promotion pathways, university benefits, human resources, and more.

Resources for Staff

Learn about our Staff Council and explore essential resources such as job description templates, commonly used forms, comprehensive university benefits information, and more.

Equity and Inclusion

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School strives to achieve a level of gender, racial and ethnic equity among the faculty, students and staff reflective of our society; to increase the number of under-represented in medicine and women faculty in positions of leadership and in higher academic ranks. Our underrepresented in medicine definition includes Blacks and Hispanics, and women in leadership roles. This, along with the goal of attracting disadvantaged New Jersey residents as medical school applicants, is what is used for the purpose of tracking students, faculty, and staff.
