Position Overview
Primary Purpose of Position
North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T) is soliciting applications for the position of the RCMI Clinical Research Associate/ Lab Manager. The RCMI positions will support the successful implementation, administration, operations of a health disparities research center funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Centers at Minority Institutions (RCMI) mechanism. The RCMI at NC A&T will initially focus on brain health and cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders.
The RCMI Clinical Research Associate / Lab Manager plays a central operational and scientific role in executing a high-impact, multidisciplinary research project investigating how gut microbiota composition and intestinal permeability mediate early cardiometabolic pathophysiology and risk factors across the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) continuum. Supported by an NIH R01 subaward under the NCAT Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) mechanism, this position integrates high-level clinical research data collection, laboratory operations oversight, and personnel training.
The CardioMetabolic eXercise Laboratory (CMX-Lab) conducts cutting-edge translational human research in collaboration with nanoengineering and microbiota experts. Focusing on a stratified-risk cohort of 200 participants from underrepresented populations in the greater Greensboro region, the lab uses gold-standard physiological techniques to unpack the complex connections between metabolic flexibility, microvascular blood flow, leaky gut biomarkers, and neurocognitive decline.
The incumbent is expected to contribute to a culture of excellence, innovation, collaboration, and community engagement while supporting the growth and sustainability of the RCMI Center as a nationally recognized leader in health disparities research, research capacity development, and health equality advancement.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Business Development Manager
Align your credentials to Trainee category requirements
The J-1 Trainee category requires either a degree plus one year of related work experience abroad, or five years of professional experience in business development or a related field. Gather transcripts, employment letters, and a career timeline before outreach.
Frame your training plan around measurable outcomes
Designated sponsors require a structured Training Plan (Form DS-7002) tied to specific learning objectives. Map your proposed U.S. role to observable skills gaps, not just job duties, so the sponsor can justify the program's educational purpose.
Target host employers with established international programs
Search for Business Development Manager openings at companies that already list J-1 or cultural exchange experience in their HR materials. Use Migrate Mate to filter roles at employers with a documented history of hosting international exchange visitors.
Clarify the 2-year home residency rule before accepting an offer
Some J-1 Trainee participants are subject to the two-year home-country physical presence requirement, which restricts H-1B visa and green card transitions afterward. Verify your country of funding and whether your field is on the skills list before signing.
Negotiate host employer support for sponsor fees upfront
Designated sponsor organizations charge program fees that vary by sponsor and program length. Confirm in writing which fees the host employer covers and which are your responsibility, since this affects your net compensation during the exchange period.
Confirm the host employer can sign a legally compliant training agreement
The host organization must co-sign the DS-7002 and agree to supervisor responsibilities, insurance coverage, and SEVIS reporting cooperation. HR departments unfamiliar with J-1 hosting sometimes cannot legally commit to these obligations without internal approvals.
Business Development Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to Business Development Manager roles?
Most Business Development Manager candidates fall under the J-1 Trainee category if they hold a degree and at least one year of related overseas experience, or five or more years of professional experience without a degree. Current students pursuing structured internships may qualify under the Intern category instead, which has stricter enrollment requirements but a shorter minimum program duration.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a Business Development Manager position?
The visa sponsor is not your employer. It is a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization such as Cultural Vistas or CIEE, which issues the DS-2019 form, monitors your program compliance, and maintains your SEVIS record. Your hiring company is the host organization. Both parties must agree to participate, and the sponsor organization, not the employer, holds legal responsibility for the exchange program.
How do I find U.S. employers willing to host a J-1 Business Development Manager?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Business Development Manager roles at U.S. employers that have experience hosting J-1 exchange visitors or sponsoring international candidates. Look specifically for positions in professional services, technology, and global consulting firms, where cross-border commercial experience is an asset rather than a complication during the hiring conversation.
Can a J-1 Business Development Manager role transition to an H-1B afterward?
A J-1 to H-1B transition is possible if you are not subject to the two-year home residency requirement under INA section 212(e). That requirement applies if your exchange program was government-funded or if your home country has identified your field on its skills list. Applicants subject to the requirement must either fulfill it, obtain a waiver, or remain ineligible for H-1B status.
What documents does a Business Development Manager need before approaching a designated J-1 sponsor?
You will typically need a signed letter of intent or offer from the host employer, your academic transcripts or professional employment history covering the required experience threshold, a draft of your training objectives, and proof of English proficiency if required by the sponsor organization. Having a completed and co-signed DS-7002 draft ready signals to the sponsor that the host employer understands its compliance obligations.
