Position Highlights
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Arizona invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. The successful candidate will conduct research on artificial intelligence, have interdisciplinary interests, and serve as Director of the Cognitive Science Program.
We are particularly interested in candidates whose research spans one or more of the following areas: artificial intelligence, multimodal AI, computer vision, visualization and visual perception, machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, human-centered computing, human-computer interaction, and computational cognitive modeling. Applications of these areas to health, broadly construed, would be of particular interest.
The Department of Computer Science has a long history of research accomplishments, influential software distribution, and substantial external funding. The department currently has 18 tenure-track faculty and 13 teaching faculty. We offer three undergraduate degrees (B.S. and B.A. in Computer Science and B.S. in Artificial Intelligence) and two graduate degrees (M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science). Current research areas include algorithms, bioinformatics, computational geometry, data management, human-computer interaction, machine learning, natural language processing, networks, programming languages, security, computer vision, and visualization. The Computer Science department is in the College of Science, which includes other highly ranked departments such as Astronomy and Geosciences, with which Computer Science faculty actively collaborate.
The Cognitive Science program serves as an interdisciplinary hub, bringing together many affiliated faculty members from various departments including Computer Science, Information Sciences, Psychology/Neuroscience, Linguistics, Speech Language & Hearing Sciences, Education, and Philosophy. Among them are 8 and growing core faculty members, jointly appointed between the CogSci program and their home department. The CogSci program offers a joint undergraduate major (B.S. in Neuroscience and CogSci) and a graduate minor in CogSci. Students and affiliated faculty in the community actively collaborate and regularly come together for interdisciplinary activities.
Review of applications will begin on the preferred application deadline of November 16, 2026, and continue until the position is filled.
The University of Arizona is located in the heart of Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona. The Tucson metro area has over one million people, has its own international airport, and is close to Phoenix with a population of over five million. Tucson is known for its stunning Sonoran Desert landscape. It is surrounded by saguaros and 4 mountain ranges and has ample opportunities for leisure activities, including amazing biking, hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and caving. Tucson is one of 49 UNESCO Cities of Gastronomy, and has a vibrant music and art scene.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Computer Science
Verify your degree satisfies specialty occupation
Your Australian three-year CS degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's. If your degree is in a related field like information systems or mathematics, get a credential evaluation before applying so employers aren't uncertain about your qualifications.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Labor Condition Application disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for software engineer or data scientist roles. Prior LCA activity signals the employer already understands the E-3 process and won't treat your application as an experiment.
Lead with E-3 advantages in recruiter conversations
Explicitly tell recruiters you're on an E-3, not an H-1B, and that there's no lottery and no annual cap. Many tech recruiters screen out sponsorship candidates without realizing E-3 hires can start within weeks of an accepted offer.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and paperwork
The LCA must be certified by DOL before your consulate appointment, and your DS-160 and visa packet need to align precisely with the LCA details. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment so nothing slips between steps.
Search for Computer Science roles using Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters U.S. Computer Science jobs by E-3 sponsorship availability, saving you from applying to roles where the employer won't support the visa process. You can search by specialization, location, and remote work options in one place.
Clarify remote and hybrid work arrangements before filing
Your LCA lists a specific worksite address, which affects the prevailing wage DOL certifies. If the role is remote or hybrid, confirm with your employer how they'll list the work location before the LCA is filed, since changes after certification can require refiling.
E-3 Visa Computer Science: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Computer Science jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It lists U.S. Computer Science roles filtered by E-3 sponsorship availability, so you're not guessing which employers will support the visa process. You can filter by specialization, state, and remote options to match your specific situation as an Australian professional.
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.
Do all Computer Science roles qualify as E-3 specialty occupations?
Most do, but the job must theoretically require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field like computer science, software engineering, or information technology. Generic titles like 'technical support' or 'IT coordinator' can fail if the employer can't demonstrate the role demands a degree. Titles such as software engineer, data scientist, DevOps engineer, and machine learning engineer consistently qualify.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Computer Science roles?
The E-3 is far more practical for Australian CS professionals. There's no lottery, no annual cap, and the employer can file an LCA and have you working within weeks of an accepted offer. The H-1B involves a March registration lottery with a roughly 25% selection rate, then an October 1 start date even if selected. The E-3 renews indefinitely in two-year increments with the same employer or a new one.
Can I change jobs or specializations on an E-3?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA certified by DOL before you start. If you're switching from, say, a backend engineering role to a data science role, the new LCA needs to reflect the new job title and prevailing wage for that specific occupation. You can begin working for the new employer once the new E-3 visa stamp is issued or, if already in the U.S., once the new LCA is certified and USCIS approves a change of status.
