Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Instructional Assistant Jobs at Touro University Jobs
Align your credentials to Touro's academic structure
Touro operates across health sciences, education, and Jewish studies. Frame your degree and teaching experience around the specific college or program you're targeting. A mismatch between your background and the department weakens your petition before it reaches USCIS.
Target departments with recurring instructional hiring
Touro's instructional hiring tends to concentrate in its health professions and education schools. Identify which campus and division lists your specialty, then apply directly to that unit rather than submitting a blanket application across all open postings.
Clarify visa pathway before accepting any offer
Touro sponsors multiple visa categories for instructional staff. Before signing an offer letter, confirm in writing whether your role qualifies for H-1B or J-1 sponsorship, since each carries different employment conditions, duration limits, and obligations from DOL and USCIS.
Start OPT or CPT authorization well before your start date
If you're transitioning from F-1 status, your DSO must authorize OPT or CPT before you begin work. USCIS requires OPT applications to be filed up to 90 days before your program end date, so time your application to avoid any gap in authorization.
Prepare a teaching portfolio specific to instructional support roles
Touro's instructional assistant positions often require demonstrated experience supporting diverse learners. Compile syllabi you've contributed to, student outcome data, and any tutoring or academic coaching documentation before your interview, not after receiving an offer.
Browse verified Instructional Assistant openings on Migrate Mate
Touro posts instructional roles across multiple campuses at different times of year. Use Migrate Mate to filter open Instructional Assistant positions at Touro by visa type so you're applying only to roles where sponsorship has already been confirmed.

Find Instructional Assistant at Touro University JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Touro University sponsor H-1B visas for Instructional Assistants?
Yes, Touro University does sponsor H-1B visas for qualifying Instructional Assistant roles. The position generally needs to meet USCIS specialty occupation standards, meaning it requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field relevant to the instructional duties. Your department and the nature of your role will determine whether the H-1B is the appropriate pathway or whether a J-1 exchange visitor visa better fits the position structure.
Which visa types are commonly used for Instructional Assistant roles at Touro University?
Instructional Assistants at Touro University are most commonly sponsored under H-1B, J-1, and F-1 OPT or CPT. J-1 is frequently used for teaching and research roles with a defined exchange component, while H-1B suits longer-term instructional positions. F-1 OPT is common for recent graduates entering their first instructional role. TN is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying educational categories.
What qualifications are expected for Instructional Assistant positions at Touro University?
Most Instructional Assistant roles at Touro require at least a bachelor's degree, often in education, a health science, or a subject-specific field aligned with the department. Hands-on teaching, tutoring, or academic support experience is strongly preferred. Roles in health sciences programs may also require clinical or practicum experience. Graduate enrollment or a completed master's degree strengthens your candidacy, particularly for positions in Touro's professional schools.
How do I apply for Instructional Assistant jobs at Touro University?
You can find and apply for Instructional Assistant openings at Touro University through Migrate Mate, which surfaces verified sponsorship-eligible roles so you're not guessing about visa support. Touro posts positions across multiple campuses, so filter by location and department to find the right fit. Tailor your application to the specific college within Touro, referencing the student population and subject area directly in your cover materials.
How do I time my visa sponsorship process when starting an Instructional Assistant role at Touro?
Timing depends on your current status. H-1B petitions for cap-subject workers must be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start, so you'd need an offer in hand by late February or early March. If you're on F-1 OPT, you can start work before your H-1B is approved under the cap-gap rule, provided USCIS receives the petition before your OPT expires. Confirm your specific timeline with Touro's HR or international office early in the offer process.
