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 Human Resources Manager
Verify your J-1 category before applying
HR Manager roles typically qualify under the Trainee category for those with under one year of post-degree experience, or the Specialist category for seasoned professionals. Applying to host employers without confirming your category wastes time and can derail an offer.
Document field-specific HR credentials early
Gather your SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, or equivalent certifications alongside transcripts and employment letters before contacting host employers. Designated sponsors like Cultural Vistas require detailed proof that your background aligns with the HR training objectives on your DS-2019.
Search Migrate Mate to find host employers
Use Migrate Mate to identify U.S. companies actively hosting J-1 visa exchange visitors in HR functions. Filtering by role and sponsorship history surfaces employers already familiar with the DS-2019 process, cutting the time you spend educating hiring managers.
Target mid-size companies with HR departments
Large enterprises often route international hires through internal immigration teams unfamiliar with J-1 host obligations. Mid-size companies with standalone HR functions are more likely to engage directly with a designated sponsor and structure a compliant training plan around your role.
Clarify the two-year home residency requirement upfront
Some HR Specialist and Trainee placements trigger the two-year home country physical presence requirement under INA Section 212(e), particularly if government funding is involved. Raise this with your designated sponsor before signing any offer to understand whether a waiver is needed.
Align your training plan with OFLC Wage Search data
Your DS-2019 training plan must reflect duties at the appropriate skill level. Cross-reference the HR Manager occupation on O*NET and confirm that your proposed compensation meets the DOL prevailing wage for your host employer's location using OFLC Wage Search.
Human Resources Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits an HR Manager role?
It depends on your experience. If you completed a degree within the past 12 months and are entering HR for structured training, the Trainee category applies. If you bring several years of professional HR experience and are joining a host employer to share specialized expertise, the Specialist category is the more appropriate fit. Your designated sponsor makes the final determination based on your background and the training plan.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa as an HR Manager?
Your J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not your employer. Organizations like Cultural Vistas, IIE, or CIEE issue the DS-2019, monitor your training plan, and maintain compliance with State Department regulations. The company where you work is your host employer, not your visa sponsor. The distinction matters because your legal obligations run to the designated sponsor, not HR at your host organization.
How do I find U.S. host employers open to J-1 HR placements?
Migrate Mate lets you filter roles by sponsorship type and job function, so you can identify companies that have hosted J-1 exchange visitors in HR or related business functions. This is more efficient than cold-applying to employers who have never navigated the DS-2019 host agreement process, since unfamiliar employers frequently withdraw offers once they learn about their compliance obligations.
Does the two-year home residency requirement apply to HR Manager J-1 placements?
It can. The two-year home country physical presence requirement under INA Section 212(e) applies when a J-1 placement involves skills on the Exchange Visitor Skills List for your home country, or when government funding is involved in the program. HR management appears on some countries' Skills Lists. You should confirm with your designated sponsor before accepting an offer, because the requirement affects your ability to change to H-1B visa or green card status afterward.
What should an HR Manager's J-1 training plan include?
Your training plan, typically the DS-7002 form, must break down the specific HR competencies you will develop, the methods of supervision, and a phase-by-phase schedule of activities. For HR Manager roles this usually covers workforce planning, employee relations processes, HRIS systems, and compliance functions. Vague plans that list only job duties are routinely rejected by designated sponsors. Your host employer's HR team and your designated sponsor must both sign off before the DS-2019 can be issued.
