Postdoctoral researchers granted higher priority status for campus housing

Sept. 1, 2023

Effective fall 2023, postdoctoral researchers have been moved up the priority list for on-campus housing, allowing them to have preferred access to University rentals.

University employees who work at least half-time are eligible to apply for rental housing through the Faculty and Staff Rental Housing Program. Princeton University owns and manages approximately 400 rental units, ranging in size from studios to single-family houses.

Rental housing allocation is based on the Rental Housing Eligibility Priority Policy. Postdoctoral research associates, postdoctoral research fellows, postgraduate research associates and senior research assistants have all received higher-priority rental status, improving their access to available properties.
