Position Summary
The UNC Institute for Trauma Recovery has two overarching goals. The first goal is to increase understanding of how adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, depression, and other somatic symptoms) develop after traumatic stress exposure (e.g., motor vehicle collision, military deployment, sexual assault). The second goal is to use this knowledge to develop and test interventions that prevent these outcomes. Our primary strategy to achieve these goals is to recruit and retain outstanding, talented, self-motivated staff, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty who are passionate about improving the lives of individuals who have experienced trauma. The Institute for Trauma Recovery invites applications for a Clinical Research Manager to help advance this mission.
The Clinical Research Manager will work under the direction of the Institute Director, Institute Managing Director, and Clinical Research Program Manager, and will play a central role in the day-to-day management and oversight of clinical research studies. This role is critical to ensuring the smooth operation of complex trials, regulatory compliance, and the professional development of junior staff.

- Monitor study compliance with federal, state, and institutional requirements.
- Support budgetary activities and administrative processes related to assigned studies.
- Assist with grant submissions and other research development activities.
Additional Expectations
The Clinical Research Manager will provide supervision of study staff, ensure adherence to regulations, and contribute input on new research, administrative initiatives, and strategies. The position requires the ability to work independently while supporting the success of multiple concurrent projects.
Minimum Education and Experience Requirements
Relevant post-Baccalaureate degree required (or foreign degree equivalent); for candidates demonstrating comparable independent research productivity, will accept a relevant Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) and 3 or more years of relevant experience in substitution. May require terminal degree and licensure.
Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate and organize complex research activities at a high level.
- Substantial experience running and coordinating large, multi-site research studies, preferably clinical trials.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Clinical Psychiatrist
Verify your AMC credentials translate correctly
U.S. consular officers evaluate your Australian Medical Council registration and Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists against specialty occupation standards. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member body before applying to confirm equivalency with U.S. board certification.
Target health systems with J-1 waiver history
Hospital networks and community mental health centers that have sponsored J-1 Conrad 30 waivers are already comfortable with physician immigration paperwork. Those employers are far more likely to move quickly on an E-3 LCA filing than organizations encountering foreign-national sponsorship for the first time.
Request a state licensure timeline from your employer
You must hold a valid U.S. state medical license before your E-3 visa is issued. Confirm with your prospective employer which state they'll place you in and start the licensing process immediately after receiving your offer letter, since timelines vary widely by state.
Clarify your clinical site arrangement before the LCA is filed
Psychiatrists placed at third-party facilities, telehealth platforms, or multiple clinic sites create DOL compliance complexity. Your employer must list the correct worksite on the Labor Condition Application, so confirm the primary practice location before the LCA is submitted to avoid an amended filing later.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and consulate prep
Once you have your offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate appointment preparation end-to-end. This removes the administrative burden from your employer and reduces the risk of delays from incomplete or misclassified paperwork.
Prepare your nonimmigrant intent response before your interview
Psychiatrists with U.S. citizen spouses or pending immigrant visa petitions face closer consular scrutiny on E-3 nonimmigrant intent. Prepare a clear, factual account of your current ties to Australia and your intent to maintain E-3 status, since the consular officer will raise this directly.

Find Clinical Psychiatrist JobsClinical Psychiatrist E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Clinical Psychiatrist jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Clinical Psychiatrist roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship, so you're not cold-applying to organizations that have never navigated the process. Filtering by role and visa type surfaces employers already familiar with the LCA filing requirement, which significantly shortens the time between offer and visa approval.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Clinical Psychiatrist role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes. Psychiatry requires a specific, accredited medical degree and postgraduate specialty training, which satisfies the E-3 specialty occupation definition under U.S. immigration law. USCIS and consular officers consistently recognize psychiatry as a qualifying field. Your Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists is treated as equivalent to U.S. board certification for this purpose.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Clinical Psychiatrists?
The E-3 has no annual lottery, no cap, and can be renewed indefinitely in two-year increments, unlike the H-1B which is subject to an 85,000-slot annual cap and a randomized selection process. For Australian psychiatrists, this means a confirmed job offer translates directly into a visa filing with no selection uncertainty. The employer paperwork burden is also lower, which makes smaller health systems and private practices more willing to sponsor.
Can I start work before my E-3 visa is issued?
No. You must attend a consular interview in Australia and receive your E-3 visa stamp before beginning employment in the United States. Unlike some change-of-status pathways available inside the U.S., psychiatrists applying for the E-3 from Australia must complete consular processing first. Ensure your state medical license is issued and your LCA is certified before scheduling your consulate appointment to avoid delays.
