You can create a helper formatter method to do the formatting:

Template.postJobs.helpers({
  formatDate: function(date) {
    return date.format("MMM D");
  }
});

Your html template would pass the date variable into formatDate like this:

<td class="submitDate">{{formatDate this}}</td>

Hi, if I saw it right from your question, your data source field is called {{date}}. In that case you should call the helper by: {{formatDate date}} – Tom Freudenberg Jul 10 '15 at 21:11
