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.
Primary duties include managing the daily operations under the direction of the PI, ensuring adherence to protocols, regulatory standards, and good clinical practice guidelines, and overseeing the daily work of research staff (RAs, PGAs, student interns working in the lab).

The CRC is responsible for maintaining research records, including source documents and case report forms, entering data into electronic data capture systems, reporting adverse events, providing sponsors with requested clinical and regulatory information, and resolving data queries in a timely manner. Laboratory responsibilities may include coordinating laboratory specimen collection, storage, and shipment and maintaining laboratory equipment and supplies. Other responsibilities include onboarding, training, and supervision of new staff, managing study supplies and expenses, and supporting medication orders in collaboration with the Investigational Drug Service, and assisting with monitor visits. The Manager may also be asked to assist with the preparation of research protocols, and protocol renewals and amendments for submission to the investigational review board (IRB).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Laboratory Jobs at Yale University Jobs
Align your credentials to Yale's lab structure
Yale laboratory postings often specify degree requirements tied to a particular scientific discipline. Confirm your degree field directly matches the role's specialty occupation definition before applying, since a general science degree supporting a narrow technical role can complicate an H-1B petition.
Target Yale's Office of Postdoctoral Affairs early
Many laboratory roles at Yale, especially postdoctoral research positions, are recruited through department-level channels before appearing on the central jobs portal. Reaching out to principal investigators directly in your target department can surface openings that never get formally posted.
Understand how Yale handles OPT to H-1B transitions
If you're on F-1 OPT, Yale's international office coordinates with hiring departments to time offer letters and I-129 filings around the April cap-subject lottery window. Confirm with your Yale HR contact whether your specific lab role is cap-subject or qualifies for a cap-exempt filing through Yale's research mission.
Prepare your publication and research record before interviews
Yale evaluates laboratory candidates heavily on documented research output. Organize your publication list, grant involvement, and lab techniques into a concise research statement before your first interview, since these materials feed directly into the specialty occupation evidence in your H-1B or EB petition.
Clarify PERM timeline expectations for EB-2 sponsorship
For permanent residence, Yale typically files through PERM labor certification with the DOL before an EB-2 or EB-3 petition. Recruitment documentation requirements for a university lab role differ from industry, so confirm with Yale's immigration counsel which role categories are eligible and what the realistic multi-year timeline looks like.
Browse Yale laboratory openings through Migrate Mate
Searching for visa-friendly lab roles across a large research university can be time-consuming. Use Migrate Mate to filter Yale University laboratory positions by visa type, so you target only roles where sponsorship for your specific status is confirmed and active.

Find Laboratory at Yale University JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Yale University sponsor H-1B visas for Laboratorys?
Yes, Yale University sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying laboratory roles. Yale is a cap-exempt institution, meaning H-1B petitions for positions directly supporting its research or educational mission can be filed with USCIS at any time of year without waiting for the annual April lottery. This is a meaningful advantage for candidates on expiring OPT or between visa statuses.
How do I apply for Laboratory jobs at Yale University?
Start by searching Yale's central careers portal for laboratory and research positions, filtering by department or school. Many postdoctoral and research scientist roles are also filled through direct faculty outreach before formal postings go live. Once you identify a target role, Migrate Mate can help you confirm which positions at Yale are actively open to visa-sponsored candidates before you invest time in a full application.
Which visa types are commonly used for Laboratory roles at Yale University?
H-1B is the most common visa for laboratory scientists and researchers at Yale. F-1 OPT and CPT are used for students completing degree programs within Yale's own schools. TN status is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying scientific occupations. For long-term roles, Yale also sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways, typically through PERM labor certification filed with the DOL.
What qualifications are expected for Laboratory positions at Yale University?
Most laboratory roles at Yale require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a directly related scientific field, with research scientist and postdoctoral positions typically requiring a completed PhD. Beyond credentials, Yale places strong weight on documented research output, including publications, conference presentations, and grant involvement. Technical proficiency in specific laboratory methodologies relevant to the hiring department's research focus is expected at the interview stage.
How long does the visa sponsorship process typically take for a Laboratory role at Yale?
For H-1B filings, Yale's cap-exempt status means standard USCIS processing runs roughly three to five months, with premium processing available to reduce that window to around 15 business days. PERM labor certification for permanent residence typically adds 18 months or more before an EB-2 or EB-3 petition can be filed. Starting conversations with Yale's immigration counsel early in the offer process gives you the clearest timeline for your specific situation.
