The University of Rochester’s Goergen Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (GIDS-AI) invites applications for the Dalal Family Postdoctoral Fellowship in AI Ethics.
This fellowship aims to advance research and teaching focused on responsible design, development, deployment, governance, and societal implications of AI systems. The Dalal Family Postdoctoral Fellowship supports applied research on AI and its societal impact, informing policy and addressing real-world ethical challenges across human life.
For the purposes of this Fellowship, “AI Ethics” refers to scholarship related to artificial intelligence and addressing the responsible design, development, deployment, governance, and societal implications of artificial intelligence systems. Relevant areas may include, but are not limited to, algorithmic fairness and bias, transparency and accountability of AI systems, AI safety and alignment, privacy and data ethics, human-centered AI design, and the governance and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies.
Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue innovative research in the human-centered development and application of AI while working closely with one or more GIDS-AI faculty mentors. Dalal Family Postdoctoral Fellows will receive a stipend, mentorship, teaching opportunities, and support for interdisciplinary collaboration for up to two years.
Fellows will have a teaching or instructional responsibility equivalent to one full-course assignment per year in AI Ethics, further extending the fellowship’s impact on students at the University.
Dalal Family Postdoctoral Fellows will be encouraged to participate in seminars, lectures, workshops, or other scholarly activities that advance discussion of the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence within the University community.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship in Family Practice Nurse Practitioner
Verify your credentials meet U.S. licensing standards
State nursing boards set NP licensure requirements independently, and some won't recognize foreign advanced practice credentials without additional coursework. Confirm your home-country qualifications align with your target state's APRN scope before applying to host employers.
Match your J-1 category to your career stage
Licensed NPs with fewer than five years of post-licensure experience typically qualify under the Trainee category. Those conducting clinical research or pursuing faculty-level exchange should target the Research Scholar or Specialist category instead. Applying under the wrong category delays your DS-2019.
Search Migrate Mate for J-1-aligned NP roles
Family practice positions that accommodate exchange visitors aren't always labeled as J-1 visa opportunities in standard job postings. Use Migrate Mate to filter for host employers with a documented history of sponsoring exchange visitors in advanced practice nursing roles.
Clarify the 2-year home residency requirement early
If your position is funded by your home government or a U.S. government agency, the two-year home-country physical presence requirement almost certainly applies. Confirm your funding source with your designated sponsor before accepting an offer, since waivers take months and aren't guaranteed.
Confirm the host employer has a signed training plan
Your designated sponsor can't issue a DS-2019 until the host clinic submits a detailed training plan outlining your objectives, supervision structure, and evaluation schedule. Ask your prospective employer whether they have completed this documentation with a sponsor organization before you accept the role.
Understand ECFMG sponsorship applies only to physicians
ECFMG administers J-1 sponsorship exclusively for foreign medical graduates, not nurse practitioners. NP exchange visitors work with sponsors like CIEE or Cultural Vistas. Identifying the right sponsor organization for your discipline prevents delays when your host employer initiates the DS-2019 process.
Family Practice Nurse Practitioner J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to Family Practice Nurse Practitioners?
Most Family Practice NPs enter the U.S. under the Trainee category, which covers licensed health professionals seeking practical training in their specialty field. NPs engaged in clinical research or teaching at an academic medical center may qualify under the Research Scholar or Specialist category instead. Your designated sponsor determines the correct category based on your qualifications, years of experience, and the host employer's program objectives.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa, the clinic or a separate organization?
The hiring clinic or health system is your host employer, not your visa sponsor. Your J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as CIEE or Cultural Vistas, that issues your DS-2019 form and monitors your exchange program for compliance. The host employer and the designated sponsor coordinate together, but they play legally distinct roles in your exchange.
How do I find family practice employers that accommodate J-1 exchange visitors?
Many family practice clinics and federally qualified health centers host J-1 exchange visitors but don't advertise it prominently in job postings. Migrate Mate lets you search for NP roles at employers with exchange visitor hosting experience, so you're not cold-applying to organizations unfamiliar with the DS-2019 process or unwilling to work with a designated sponsor.
Does the two-year home residency requirement affect NPs in family practice?
It can. The two-year home-country physical presence requirement applies if your J-1 exchange is funded by your home government or a U.S. government agency, or if your home country designates your occupation as a skills shortage area on the Exchange Visitor Skills List. Family practice NPs from certain countries are subject to this requirement. Your designated sponsor will confirm whether it applies before issuing your DS-2019.
Can I transition from a J-1 to a permanent practice role in the U.S.?
Yes, but the pathway depends on whether the two-year home residency requirement applies to you. If it does, you must either fulfill it or obtain a waiver before changing to most other visa statuses or pursuing permanent residence. Conrad 30 waivers, available through state health departments for NPs in underserved areas, are one common route. Discuss your long-term intentions with your designated sponsor and a qualified immigration attorney before accepting a J-1 position.
