Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Physics Jobs at Emory Healthcare Jobs
Align Your Credentials to USCIS Standards
Medical physics roles at Emory often require board certification or eligibility through CAMPEP-accredited programs. Confirm your foreign degree has a credential evaluation on file before applying, since specialty occupation documentation is central to H-1B petition approval.
Target Clinical Versus Research Physics Openings Separately
Emory hires physics professionals across clinical settings like radiation oncology and in academic research roles. Each track involves different reporting structures and sometimes different visa pathways, so tailor your application materials to the specific function rather than applying broadly.
Use Migrate Mate to Filter Physics Roles by Sponsorship
Search Migrate Mate to identify which Emory Healthcare Physics postings are actively open to sponsored candidates. Filtering by visa type upfront saves time and surfaces roles where sponsorship is already part of the hiring conversation.
Raise Sponsorship Timing Early in Interviews
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October, ask your Emory recruiter directly whether cap-exempt filing through the academic health system entity is possible given your start timeline.
Prepare a PERM-Ready Employment History Record
If permanent residency is your goal, Emory's HR and immigration teams will need a clean employment history to support PERM labor certification. Document every role, title, and dates of employment precisely now so the DOL audit process doesn't stall your Green Card filing later.
Confirm J-1 Waiver Status Before Accepting an Offer
J-1 exchange visitors in medical physics programs are subject to a two-year home residency requirement. Before signing an offer with Emory, verify whether you need a Conrad 30 waiver or interested government agency waiver, since this affects your earliest possible H-1B start date.

Find Physics at Emory Healthcare JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Emory Healthcare sponsor H-1B visas for Physicists?
Yes, Emory Healthcare sponsors H-1B visas for qualified Physics professionals. Medical physics is well-established as a specialty occupation under USCIS criteria given the degree requirements in the field. Because Emory operates as an academic medical center, some positions may qualify for cap-exempt H-1B filing, which bypasses the annual lottery and allows year-round petition submission.
How do I apply for Physics jobs at Emory Healthcare?
Start by searching Emory Healthcare's careers portal for Physics and medical physics openings, filtering by department such as radiation oncology or radiology. When applying, note any language about visa sponsorship eligibility in the posting. You can also browse current openings on Migrate Mate, which highlights Emory roles where international candidates are actively considered. Tailor your application to the specific clinical or research function listed.
Which visa types does Emory Healthcare commonly use for Physics roles?
Emory Healthcare sponsors a range of visa types for Physics professionals, including H-1B, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, J-1 for research and training roles, and F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates. For longer-term permanent residency pathways, Emory also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, which typically begins after a period of employment and involves the DOL's PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does Emory Healthcare expect for Physics positions?
Clinical medical physics roles typically require a master's or doctoral degree from a CAMPEP-accredited program, along with board certification or active candidacy through the American Board of Radiology or American Board of Medical Physics. Research-focused Physics positions may emphasize publication record and grant experience. Foreign degrees generally require a credential evaluation to confirm U.S. equivalency, which is also needed for USCIS specialty occupation documentation.
How do I understand the timeline for H-1B sponsorship at Emory Healthcare?
If your role is cap-subject, Emory must register you in the USCIS H-1B lottery by mid-March for a start date no earlier than October 1 of that year. If you're on F-1 OPT, your OPT end date relative to that October start matters significantly. Cap-exempt positions at Emory's academic or nonprofit research entities can be filed any time, offering more flexibility. Clarify which entity is hiring you during the offer stage to understand which timeline applies.
