Overview
The mission of the Fucito Lab at Yale is to reduce the public health burden of substance use. We aim to achieve this goal through innovative clinical research: 1) studies of factors that promote use, characterize unique risk profiles, and identify novel intervention targets, 2) studies that develop and test effective strategies that reduce substance use and related harm, 3) obtain scientific evidence to inform policy and healthcare implementation.
The lab is currently conducting 4 large-scale clinical research studies with a primary focus on either tobacco use and cessation or alcohol use disorder risk. Studies include 2 randomized trials to test medications for vaping cessation and nicotine vapes or pouches for smoking cessation, a combined randomize trial and neuroimaging study of sleep interventions for smoking or vaping cessation, and a national, 12-month observational study of alcohol risk in young adults. Research studies make extensive use of technology such as wearable devices, smartphone applications, text messaging, social media, electronic health records, and web-based platforms such as Qualtrics, REDCap.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Clinical Research Jobs at Yale University Jobs
Align your credentials with NIH standards
Yale's clinical research roles often require credentials recognized by NIH or equivalent academic bodies. Ensure your CV documents IRB experience, GCP certification, and protocol management in formats familiar to U.S. academic hiring committees before you apply.
Target Yale's Office of Research Administration early
Yale processes visa petitions through its central Office of Research Administration, not individual departments. Contacting the ORA before an offer is finalized helps you understand their internal H-1B filing timeline and avoid surprises after you accept.
Browse open roles using Migrate Mate
Clinical research openings at Yale span multiple departments and funding cycles. Use Migrate Mate to filter Yale's current openings by visa sponsorship type so you're only applying to roles where your authorization pathway is already confirmed.
Document foreign clinical trial experience for PERM
If your role leads to a Green Card via PERM, DOL requires Yale to demonstrate your qualifications match the advertised position. Foreign clinical trial coordination or research roles must be documented clearly so they map onto U.S. job requirements without gaps.
Request premium processing for time-sensitive appointments
Yale's academic hiring cycles often close in spring and fall. If your start date conflicts with USCIS standard processing windows, ask Yale's HR whether they'll file with premium processing to meet your department's onboarding deadline.

Find Clinical Research at Yale University JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Yale University sponsor H-1B visas for Clinical Researchers?
Yes, Yale University sponsors H-1B visas for Clinical Research roles across its medical school, public health programs, and affiliated research centers. Yale's Office of Research Administration manages H-1B petitions centrally, so the process is well-established. Your role must qualify as a specialty occupation, which clinical research positions typically meet given their degree requirements in life sciences, public health, or a related field.
How do I apply for Clinical Research jobs at Yale University?
Applications go through Yale's central careers portal at yale.edu/jobs. Search by department or research area, such as Yale School of Medicine or Yale School of Public Health. Tailor your application to the specific protocol or study type listed in the job description. Migrate Mate can help you identify which open roles at Yale include visa sponsorship before you apply, saving time on roles that may not be a fit.
Which visa types does Yale University commonly use for Clinical Research roles?
Yale sponsors H-1B visas for the majority of Clinical Research hires requiring work authorization. F-1 OPT and CPT are used for students and recent graduates in research coordinator or assistant roles. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying research classifications. For senior or long-term research scientists, Yale may also initiate EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM.
What qualifications does Yale typically expect for Clinical Research positions?
Most Clinical Research roles at Yale require at least a bachelor's degree in a life science, public health, or biomedical field, with many positions preferring a master's degree or higher. Hands-on experience managing IRB submissions, GCP certification, and familiarity with FDA-regulated trials are common requirements. Senior roles often expect prior experience in academic or hospital-based research environments and may require regulatory affairs or data management expertise.
How do I navigate the H-1B filing timeline when starting a Clinical Research role at Yale?
Yale's Office of Research Administration files H-1B petitions on your behalf, but the USCIS cap-subject H-1B lottery runs once per year with an April 1 filing deadline and an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October 1, your cap-gap protection period under a timely filed petition keeps you work-authorized. Plan your job search at least six to nine months ahead of your authorization expiry to align with Yale's internal petition preparation process.
