Harvard and Caltech freeze hiring due to funding cuts

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 15, 2025 at 02:01 AM UTC

Harvard University and other top U.S. institutions are implementing hiring freezes and cutting programs due to significant federal funding cuts. Columbia University faces a $400 million reduction, while Caltech is leaving postdoctoral positions unfilled. These changes stem from President Trump's policies, which have disrupted the U.S. scientific community. Many universities, including Stanford and MIT, have announced similar hiring freezes, while Johns Hopkins is cutting nearly 2,000 positions globally. As U.S. research faces uncertainty, other countries are actively recruiting American talent. Some institutions, like a French university, are promoting themselves as safe havens for scientists amid these disruptions.
