The University of Illinois Springfield invites applications for three inaugural faculty positions (preferred start date January 1, 2027; latest start August 16, 2027) in Engineering Technology to launch the Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Technology (BAS-ET), beginning Fall 2027. These positions will form the founding faculty cohort and will collectively deliver the core curriculum, establish the work-based learning sequence with regional employers, and prepare for ABET ETAC accreditation. We are seeking candidates whose expertise spans applied engineering technology. The final composition of the cohort will be shaped by the strength of the applicant pool, with the goal of assembling a team that collectively covers the program's instructional needs. Preferred areas of expertise include automation, robotics, and industrial controls; engineering design, CAD/CAM, and manufacturing systems; systems integration, project management, and applied engineering practice; materials, measurement, and quality systems; and work-based learning coordination and industry partnership development. Significant industry experience is strongly preferred.
A mix of tenure-track and non-tenure track hires is anticipated. View the tenure-track job posting at: https://uis.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/1/home/requisition/1287?c=uis
These are full-time on-campus and benefit-eligible non-tenured academic appointments. UIS faculty are expected to be available and engaged in the university community to perform professional responsibilities as assigned.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Clinical Technology Specialist
Verify your degree maps to SOC codes
USCIS assesses specialty occupation by matching your degree field to the role's SOC code. Clinical Technology Specialists typically fall under SOC 17-3029 or 29-2099. Confirm your transcript reflects a directly related field before submitting applications, not after receiving an offer.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Clinical Technology Specialist roles by employers who have actively filed Labor Condition Applications for this occupation. Employers with recent LCA history already understand the DOL certification process and are far less likely to withdraw sponsorship mid-hire.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Run your target metro area through OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions begin. LCA certification locks in a wage level, so knowing whether your offer lands at Level I or Level II lets you negotiate from a position that protects both your petition and your take-home pay.
Ask about cap-exempt employer eligibility early
Hospital systems affiliated with nonprofit research institutions and university health networks may qualify as cap-exempt under INA Section 214(i). If your target employer holds that status, you can file outside the April lottery window, removing the biggest timing constraint in your job search.
Document device-specific credentials before filing
Clinical Technology Specialist H-1B petitions often require evidence of role-specific credentials alongside your degree. Gather CBET certification, manufacturer training certificates, and clinical system implementation records now. Gaps in this documentation are a common RFE trigger for biomedical and health IT roles specifically.
Understand the 60-day grace period when changing jobs
If you're already on an H-1B and switching Clinical Technology Specialist roles, you have a 60-day grace period after your employment ends to secure a new petition. Your new employer must file before that window closes, so initiate the H-1B transfer conversation with HR at the offer stage, not after you resign.
H-1B Visa Clinical Technology Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Clinical Technology Specialist role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. USCIS classifies Clinical Technology Specialist positions as specialty occupations when they require at least a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering, clinical informatics, health information technology, or a directly related field. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field are more likely to face an RFE, so the job description should specify the required degree discipline.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Clinical Technology Specialists?
Hospital health systems, academic medical centers, medical device manufacturers, and health IT vendors are the primary sponsors for this role. Employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for Clinical Technology Specialist or related biomedical titles in the past are your strongest targets. Migrate Mate filters roles by verified H-1B sponsorship history so you can focus your applications on employers who have already demonstrated willingness to file.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my job search timeline as a Clinical Technology Specialist?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for the fiscal year starting October 1. If your target employer is cap-subject, your petition must enter the lottery by late March for a start date no earlier than October 1. Plan your job search to have an offer secured by February at the latest. Employers affiliated with nonprofit research hospitals or universities may be cap-exempt, which removes this constraint entirely.
What credentials strengthen an H-1B petition for a Clinical Technology Specialist?
A bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering or clinical informatics is the baseline. CBET certification from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, manufacturer-specific training documentation, and records of clinical system implementations all reinforce the specialty occupation argument in your petition. USCIS reviews supporting evidence to confirm the role genuinely requires specialized knowledge, not just general technical skills.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Clinical Technology Specialist employer without re-entering the lottery?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you transfer your petition to a new employer without re-entering the cap lottery, provided your new employer files a petition before your current authorized period ends and the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. Initiate the transfer conversation at the offer stage so your new employer can file before your 60-day grace period expires.
