Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Professor Jobs at University of Delaware Jobs
Align your credentials with U.S. faculty standards
U.S. universities evaluate foreign degrees carefully. If your doctorate is from a non-U.S. institution, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved agency before applying. Departments at Delaware will want to see clear degree equivalency upfront.
Target departments with active faculty searches
University of Delaware posts faculty openings through its central jobs portal and discipline-specific sites like HigherEdJobs. Search by department and filter for roles that include international applicants. Positions listed with relocation support often signal employer-sponsored visa willingness.
Understand the J-1 versus H-1B distinction early
Research universities frequently use J-1 for postdoctoral researchers and visiting faculty, but tenure-track Professor roles typically require H-1B. Clarify during the interview stage which visa pathway the department intends to pursue so you can plan your timeline accordingly.
Prepare for the PERM process if pursuing permanency
If University of Delaware moves toward EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship for a permanent Professor role, the PERM labor certification filed with DOL requires a formal recruitment record. The department must document its search, so your application materials become part of that compliance file.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Professor roles
Faculty positions that come with visa sponsorship aren't always clearly labeled. Use Migrate Mate to filter University of Delaware Professor openings by visa type so you're only spending time on roles that match your authorization needs.
Negotiate start dates around H-1B processing windows
H-1B petitions filed outside the cap, such as those for university employees, can be submitted year-round. USCIS standard processing runs several months, so coordinate your offer acceptance and department onboarding to leave adequate lead time before your intended start date.

Find Professor at University of Delaware JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does University of Delaware sponsor H-1B visas for Professors?
Yes. University of Delaware sponsors H-1B visas for Professor roles. As a nonprofit university, it qualifies for cap-exempt H-1B filings, which means petitions can be submitted to USCIS at any time of year without waiting for the annual lottery. This gives international faculty candidates significantly more scheduling flexibility than they would have with a private employer.
How do I apply for Professor jobs at University of Delaware?
Applications are submitted through the University of Delaware's official jobs portal. Professor roles typically require a CV, cover letter, research and teaching statements, and letters of recommendation. Some departments collect materials through discipline-specific platforms before routing finalists through the university system. You can also browse open Professor positions with visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate before applying directly through Delaware's portal.
Which visa types does University of Delaware commonly use for Professor roles?
The most common pathways for Professor roles are H-1B for nonimmigrant employment and EB-2 or EB-3 for permanent residency. J-1 exchange visitor status is used for visiting faculty and postdoctoral positions but is less common for tenure-track hires. TN status is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying academic roles. F-1 OPT and CPT are typically limited to postdoctoral or research-adjacent positions rather than full Professor appointments.
What qualifications does University of Delaware expect for Professor roles?
Tenure-track and tenured Professor positions require a completed doctorate in the relevant field. Departments also evaluate research output, teaching experience, and potential for external funding. For H-1B eligibility, the role must qualify as a specialty occupation, which academic faculty positions typically satisfy given the standard requirement of an advanced degree in a specific discipline.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Professor role at University of Delaware?
For H-1B, standard USCIS processing runs three to five months after the university files the petition. Because Delaware qualifies for cap-exempt filings, there's no lottery delay. If the university pursues EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship for permanent residency, the full process including PERM labor certification and I-140 approval can take one to two years or more depending on your country of birth and current visa backlogs.
