Get Access To All JobsAt the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health, we envision a near future when mental illness is treated in novel, targeted, and tailored ways, based on a new understanding of how mental illness develops and persists, unique to each individual. Our mission is to apply advances in neuroscience, technology and precision medicine to psychiatry; to create breakthroughs that further our understanding of the biological causes and underpinnings of mental illness; and to discover treatments that alleviate suffering from conditions previously considered untreatable. By addressing biological causes, and identifying genetic and other biological markers, the SNF Center will eliminate the stigma of mental illnesses and address societal disparities by ensuring equitable access to breakthrough Precision Psychiatry treatments.
An Associate Research Scientist position is available in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health for a highly skilled and motivated individual who will be responsible for establishing and leading a research program that aims to study the development, organization and function of neural circuits in mouse models of psychiatric disorders using advanced molecular, cellular and brain imaging methods with the ultimate goal to facilitate translational efforts and develop new targeted treatments. Successful candidates will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with researchers and research platforms at the Institute as well as across Columbia’s top-tier stem cell and neuroscience community. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to establishing and guiding the scientific mission of the program, collaborate with cutting-edge research teams, and train junior staff and researchers.
Situated in the heart of Manhattan in New York City, the Zuckerman Institute houses over 50 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary and diverse approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative and inclusive environment, experimental, computational, and theoretical labs work together to gain critical insights into how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers.
Duties involve the following tasks:
- Conduct laboratory research in translational neuroscience projects
- Design and perform experiments; collect and analyze data
- Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals
- Utilize an array of advanced methodologies in human pluripotent stem cell and mouse models to study circuit mechanisms of major psychiatric illnesses
- Participate in cross-disciplinary collaborations, contributing mouse model expertise to a diverse program aimed at advancing the understanding of genetic and environmental perturbations on disease etiology and pathogenesis
- Provide technical guidance to researchers, troubleshooting, and optimizing experimental workflows
- Train researchers, including junior staff and students, on electrophysiological methods and data analytic techniques
- Engage in scientific communication at conferences
- Ensure that best practices in data collection and interpretation are followed throughout the Center
- Oversee the daily operations of the mouse model program, ensuring optimal performance of all equipment and systems, as well as maintaining the necessary state-of-the-art resources and tools to support a broad range of impactful projects across the center
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in neuroscience or related fields, have a strong publication record and demonstrated experience working with mice.
We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise, including in vivo functional imaging, neural circuit tracing and manipulations, electrophysiology, neurodevelopmental biology, as well as molecular and cellular neuroscience. Strong computational skills, including programming in MATLAB or Python, superior motivation, drive and demonstrated aptitude for carrying out independent research, as well as experience and interest in training and mentoring team members, are highly desirable qualifications.
Candidates should submit their application, including a curriculum vitae, a brief cover letter outlining their research interests and goals, and the contact information of three individuals who will provide letters of reference. Informal inquiries are also welcome.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nursing Jobs at University of Rochester Jobs
Verify your credentials meet New York licensing requirements
New York State requires internationally educated nurses to have their credentials evaluated through CGFNS or a NYSED-approved agency before sitting for the NCLEX-RN. Complete this early, University of Rochester won't extend an offer without a valid RN license.
Target clinical units with persistent staffing demand
University of Rochester consistently posts openings in specialties like critical care, perioperative, and oncology nursing. Focusing your applications on high-demand units increases the likelihood you're considered for a role where sponsorship is already built into the hiring plan.
Confirm the LCA is filed before your start date
For H-1B and E-3 roles, your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS can process your petition. Follow up with University of Rochester's HR or immigration counsel to confirm this step is underway after you accept an offer.
Browse open Nursing roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for visa-sponsored nursing positions, so you can identify University of Rochester openings where sponsorship is already confirmed rather than guessing from a general job board.
Account for VisaScreen certification in your timeline
USCIS requires internationally educated nurses to hold a VisaScreen certificate issued by CGFNS before an H-1B or employment-based Green Card can be approved. The process takes several months, so apply for it in parallel with your job search, not after you have an offer.

Find Nursing at University of Rochester JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does University of Rochester sponsor H-1B visas for Nursings?
Yes, University of Rochester sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying nursing roles. Registered nursing positions that require a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a valid New York RN license generally meet the specialty occupation standard USCIS applies to H-1B petitions. Because nursing roles in academic medical centers are tied to specific degree requirements, H-1B eligibility is more straightforward here than at some other employer types.
How do I apply for Nursing jobs at University of Rochester?
Applications go through the University of Rochester's careers portal, where nursing roles are listed by unit, shift, and site. You can also find visa-sponsored nursing openings at University of Rochester through Migrate Mate, which filters listings specifically for international candidates. Having your New York RN license and NCLEX results ready before applying puts you in a stronger position during the screening process.
Which visa types does University of Rochester commonly use for Nursing roles?
University of Rochester sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, J-1, and employment-based Green Cards including EB-2 and EB-3 for nursing positions. The EB-3 category is commonly used for registered nurses pursuing permanent residence. Australian nurses are well-positioned for the E-3 pathway, which avoids the H-1B lottery and can be renewed indefinitely in two-year increments while you remain employed.
What qualifications does University of Rochester expect for sponsored Nursing positions?
Most sponsored nursing roles at University of Rochester require a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a valid New York State RN license, and NCLEX-RN passage. Internationally educated nurses also need a CGFNS credential evaluation and, for visa purposes, a VisaScreen certificate. Specialty units such as the ICU, OR, and oncology floors often prefer or require prior acute care experience in the relevant clinical area.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Nursing role at University of Rochester?
The timeline depends on the visa type. E-3 applications processed at an Australian consulate can move quickly, often within a few weeks of receiving the certified LCA and job offer letter. H-1B petitions filed outside the annual lottery cap period take three to five months with standard USCIS processing, or as few as two to three weeks with premium processing. EB-3 Green Card cases involve a PERM labor certification through DOL, which adds at least six to twelve months before the immigrant petition stage.
