ImmunityBio is a vertically integrated commercial stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies that bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. The Company’s range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS that activates NK cells, T cells, and memory T cells for a long-duration response. The Company is applying its science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as a Clinical Analyst
Lead with your clinical systems experience
Employers screening Clinical Analyst candidates prioritize hands-on familiarity with EHR platforms like Epic or Cerner. Highlight any coursework, internships, or capstone projects involving clinical data workflows before listing general technical skills.
Confirm your role qualifies for STEM OPT
Clinical Analyst positions typically fall under CIP codes for health informatics or biomedical sciences, making them eligible for the 24-month STEM extension. Verify your degree field matches before accepting an offer to avoid timeline complications.
Target healthcare systems and large hospital networks
Large hospital systems, academic medical centers, and health IT vendors sponsor OPT far more consistently than small clinics. These organizations have dedicated HR processes for work authorization and are familiar with the I-983 training plan requirement.
File your STEM OPT extension early
Submit your STEM OPT extension application at least 90 days before your initial OPT expires. Your DSO needs time to approve the I-983 training plan, and USCIS processing can take weeks even with timely filing.
Frame your value around data quality and compliance
Clinical Analysts who can speak to HIPAA compliance, data integrity, and regulatory reporting stand out with OPT-sponsoring employers. These are exactly the skills healthcare organizations need and are willing to invest in sponsoring over the long term.
Get your I-983 training plan right the first time
The I-983 must describe specific learning goals tied to your Clinical Analyst role, not generic job duties. Work with your employer's HR team and DSO together to draft a plan that satisfies both USCIS requirements and your school's reporting obligations.
Clinical Analyst OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Clinical Analyst role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Most Clinical Analyst positions qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension, provided your underlying degree falls under an eligible CIP code, typically health informatics, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a related STEM field. Your DSO can confirm eligibility based on your specific degree. If you qualify, you can work up to 36 months total on OPT, which gives employers a meaningful runway before needing to file an H-1B visa or other visa petition.
What types of employers hire Clinical Analysts on OPT?
Hospital systems, academic medical centers, health IT companies, and healthcare consulting firms are the most active sponsors for Clinical Analyst roles on OPT. Organizations running Epic or Cerner implementations frequently hire OPT candidates because qualified analysts are in short supply. Federal contractors and large insurance companies also post these roles. You can filter for OPT-friendly Clinical Analyst positions directly on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers already open to sponsoring international students.
What skills do Clinical Analyst employers look for in OPT candidates?
EHR platform experience, particularly with Epic or Cerner, is the most commonly required skill for Clinical Analyst roles. Employers also look for familiarity with HL7 or FHIR data standards, SQL for querying clinical databases, and an understanding of clinical workflows like order entry or documentation. For OPT candidates specifically, being able to articulate your authorization timeline clearly and demonstrating readiness to support an H-1B petition in year three strengthens your candidacy considerably.
Can I work as a Clinical Analyst during my 60-day grace period?
No. You cannot work during the 60-day grace period that follows the end of your OPT authorization or the termination of employment. The grace period exists for you to prepare for departure, change status, or find a new role, but active employment is not permitted during this window. If you're between Clinical Analyst positions, your new employer must initiate the hiring process and your OPT must still be valid when you start the new job.
How does the I-983 training plan work for Clinical Analyst positions?
The I-983 is a training plan you and your employer complete together to document how your Clinical Analyst role relates to your STEM degree and supports your professional development. It must include specific learning objectives, not just a job description. Your employer's HR or compliance team typically drafts the employer section, while your DSO reviews and approves the full document before you submit your STEM OPT extension application to USCIS. Employers who have hired STEM OPT students before usually have a template ready.
