jobs.edu.ro Scraper — Romania University Job Postings

What does jobs.edu.ro Scraper do?

jobs.edu.ro Scraper extracts academic job postings from jobs.edu.ro, the official job board operated by Romania's Ministry of Education for university faculty and researcher openings ("posturi didactice și de cercetare"). Every public Romanian university and higher-education institution publishes its vacant lecturer, professor and researcher positions here, along with the position's minimum salary, the application window, and the exam calendar.

The scraper searches by keyword, institution or academic rank, then returns structured data: posting title, hiring institution, faculty, department, city, scientific domain, minimum salary, application deadline and full posting text. Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, proxy rotation, webhook integrations, and monitoring out of the box. No login or cookies required -- all data is extracted from publicly available postings.

Why use jobs.edu.ro Scraper?

• Academic job market research: Track every open lecturer, associate professor, professor and researcher position across Romania's ~110 public and private universities in one feed.
• Salary benchmarking: jobs.edu.ro publishes the legally mandated minimum salary for every posting, in RON -- useful for comparing pay across institutions and ranks.
• Recruitment intelligence: See which faculties and departments are actively hiring, and how competitive a given field or university is.
• Deadline tracking: The application window (perioadă înscriere) is parsed into a clean start/end date, so you can build alerts for closing deadlines.
• Academic research: Study hiring trends by scientific domain, region or institution type over time.
• HR / relocation services: Feed structured academic vacancy data into a job board, newsletter or relocation-advisory product targeting international academics considering Romania.

1. Go to the jobs.edu.ro Scraper page on Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the Actor in Apify Console.
3. Optionally enter a Search Query (matched against position, discipline or scientific domain -- e.g. "lector", "informatica", "drept"). Leave empty to list all current postings.
4. Optionally filter by University / Institution (e.g. "Cluj", "Babes-Bolyai", "Politehnica Bucuresti") or Academic Position (Lecturer, Professor, Associate Professor, etc.).

How much does it cost to scrape jobs.edu.ro?

jobs.edu.ro Scraper is a lightweight HTTP scraper (no headless browser required) -- the site renders postings server-side with no anti-bot protection, so plain HTTP requests are enough for reliable extraction. It's billed pay-per-result: about $0.01 per run start plus $0.012 per result. A 100-posting run costs roughly $1.21; a 500-posting run (the default, and enough to cover every currently open posting) costs roughly $6.01. It visits one listing-page request per 100 postings plus one detail-page request per posting, so cost scales with result count. A run's usage cost only settles in your Apify billing after the run reports SUCCEEDED -- reading the dataset mid-run will undercount what you're actually charged.

Tips and advanced options

• Leave all filters empty to get every currently open posting across Romania in one run -- this is the default and typically returns 300+ postings.
• Use scope: "all" to pull the full historical archive, useful for studying hiring trends over time (1,000+ postings).
• University matching is fuzzy and diacritics-insensitive -- "cluj", "Cluj-Napoca" or "Babes Bolyai" all resolve to the correct institution. If no institution matches, the scraper logs a warning and returns results without that filter rather than failing the run.
• Set maxResults to control run length. Start small (10-50) to verify the output, then scale up.
• Combine with other scrapers to build a full picture of the Romanian job market -- check our Hipo.ro scraper for the general graduate/IT market alongside jobs.edu.ro's academic-only postings.
