Rutgers Sponsoring Departments

Rutgers recognizes the value of global perspectives in academia. International scholars come to Rutgers for a variety of reasons and through various channels. They may be hired by the university to teach or conduct research; other times, they are invited to come to Rutgers to conduct research or pursue other academic endeavors alongside Rutgers faculty.

Academic and research units enter into a cooperative arrangement with the Center for Global Services when hosting foreign national scholars at Rutgers under the university's J-1 and H-1B visa sponsorship, and, when applicable, in serving as the sponsor of a green card for eligible employees:

  • Visiting lecturers, instructors, and professors: J-1 or H-1B

  • Postdoctoral associates, postdoctoral fellows, and research associates: J-1 or H-1B

  • Visiting student researchers, student interns, or exchange students: J-1

  • Long-term and permanent associate professor and professors: green card
