The Australian National University’s research and innovation arm will lose more than 10 per cent of staff as part of a major cost-saving restructure designed to cut salary cost by $100 million a year.

The latest details of the university’s dramatic reorganisation include the scrapping of the business development team and the research funding and development team, with 38 jobs to be lost from the research and innovation portfolio in total.

The announcement on Thursday brings the number of jobs confirmed to be on the chopping block to 158 — a figures that does not include the 21 new roles the ANU plans to create as part of the restructure.
