A part-time non-exempt Associate Research Scientist will support research and data generation related to sensory aging and function across the lifespan, using multi-omic measures to understand how social, environmental, and life-history factors shape sensory phenotypes. The Associate Research Scientist will work with Prof. James Higham, and in close collaboration with Prof. Amanda Melin, University of Calgary. The Associate Research Scientist will access and analyse samples in CBRU’s long-term biobank, with particular emphasis on organizing, preparing, and shipping samples for multi-omic data generation. Together, these approaches provide an opportunity to investigate how individuals’ sensory systems differ in molecular composition and putative function and health with age, and how these differences are shaped by their social and ecological environments. The position offers opportunities to collaborate on multiple ongoing and planned research studies, develop experience in new methods and techniques, and contribute to dissemination of findings through publications and conferences. The Associate Research Scientist will spend time at NYU and UCalgary for training, sample processing and analyses. The position is available immediately. The position is available for up to 500 hours, for approximately 12 months.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee the processing of biological sample (tissues, excreta and body fluids) data.
- Work with PIs to organize timelines and processing priorities.
- Establish standard operating protocols for processing.
- Organize shipping of samples to core facilities for data generation, and storage and transfer of large data files.
- Contribute to initial quality assessments and analyses of received data.
- Contribute to the preparation of grant applications and peer-reviewed manuscripts.
LOCATION
This position is based in New York and the selected candidate will be expected to work onsite as of their effective start date.
We welcome applications from international candidates; however, please note that NYU is not an E-Verify employer and therefore unable to support STEM OPT extensions.
COMPENSATION
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $28-$32 per hour. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- A Masters degree in animal biology, biological anthropology, molecular ecology or a related field.
- Experience working with molecular techniques in a biosafety laboratory (e.g., DNA/ RNA extraction/ PCR/ Library Preparation/ Proteomics).
- Evidence of strong organizational and communication abilities.
Applicants should submit a one-page cover letter, a CV, and the names and addresses of 3 referees, via Interfolio. We will begin reviewing applications immediately on receipt.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Research Associate
Translate your NUS or NTU credentials precisely
U.S. hiring managers often can't assess Singapore-system degrees without context. Frame your honours year or research thesis in terms of the U.S. bachelor's-plus structure so the specialty occupation requirement reads as clearly met on your application.
Verify your role qualifies as specialty occupation
Not every Research Associate posting requires a specific degree field. Check the O*NET profile for your SOC code before applying so you can confirm the role meets the H-1B1 visa specialty occupation standard and avoid employers who can't support the filing.
Target employers already filing Labor Condition Applications
Use Migrate Mate to search for employers with active H-1B1 visa or H-1B visa LCA filing history in research roles. Employers who've filed before understand the DOL wage attestation process and won't stall when you raise sponsorship.
Raise sponsorship before the offer stage
H-1B1 visa requires employer attestation on the LCA, so waiting until the written offer to mention your visa status wastes both parties' time. Confirm in the second interview that the employer can file an LCA and is willing to sponsor.
Benchmark your salary against DOL prevailing wage data
Your offered salary must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating so you enter the conversation knowing the floor your employer must attest to on the LCA.
Book your consulate appointment as soon as the LCA certifies
Once DOL certifies the LCA, typically within seven business days, schedule your U.S. consulate interview in Singapore immediately. Appointment slots can back up, and your start date depends on visa issuance, not LCA approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Research Associate role qualify for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as biology, chemistry, public health, economics, or a comparable discipline. If the job description accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field, the specialty occupation requirement may not be satisfied and the employer's LCA attestation could face scrutiny. Check the O*NET profile for your specific SOC code to confirm the degree-field requirement before applying.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to the H-1B for Research Associate roles?
The H-1B1 visa skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than through USCIS, which eliminates the months-long petition review stage. The annual cap is 5,400 for Singaporeans and has never filled, so timing your application around the consulate's appointment availability matters far more than the cap. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 does not allow dual intent, meaning you can't pursue a green card while on H-1B1 status the way some H-1B holders do.
How do I find Research Associate employers who are familiar with H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to filter Research Associate jobs by employers with documented LCA filing history in research-related SOC codes. Employers who've filed LCAs before, even under H-1B rather than H-1B1 visa, already understand DOL wage attestation requirements and are far less likely to withdraw an offer when the filing process becomes concrete.
What happens to my H-1B1 status if my research position ends unexpectedly?
H-1B1 visa is employer-specific, so your status is tied to the sponsoring employer. If the position ends, you're out of status immediately with no statutory grace period built into the H-1B1 category the way the 60-day H-1B grace period works. You'd need to either find a new sponsoring employer and have them file an LCA before you begin working, or depart and re-enter under a new approved status. Plan ahead if your research contract has a defined end date.
Can my employer include a future research location in the LCA if the project site isn't confirmed yet?
The LCA must list all worksites where you'll perform work, including short-term assignments. If your research role involves fieldwork or multi-site data collection, your employer should either file a blanket LCA covering the general geographic area or plan to post LCA notices at each new worksite as required by DOL. Leaving a worksite off the LCA and later working there is a compliance violation for the employer.
