As a member of the Instruction, Research, and Digital Scholarship team, this position supports student and faculty research and instruction across the curriculum.

Guided by our organizational values, we work to advance the college’s purpose in developing disciplined and creative minds for lives of leadership and service. We do this by offering expertise, space, resources, and services that facilitate research, provide access to, and foster the creation of knowledge.
Our library staff play a critical role in expanding the global reach of traditional scholarship, preserving born-digital materials, supporting digital scholarship, and championing equitable and sustainable access to information.

We take pride in our strong collaborations with campus partners such as the John Crosland Jr. Center for Teaching and Learning, the Jay Hurt Hub for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and the D.G. and Harriet Wall Martin Institute for Public Good —strategic alliances that highlight the library’s central role in the teaching and learning mission.
We are inspired by the college’s public commitment to education and reconciliation. To create an inclusive learning community and to reflect the diversity of Davidson experiences, we collaborate on projects that tell the full history of our college, develop collections in partnership with students and faculty, and create meaningful community connections. We seek a thoughtful colleague who joins us in embracing a special set of responsibilities as we articulate the college’s relationship to the past, confront our present moment, and chart a hopeful future.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in Teaching
Verify your degree matches the role
TN visa classification requires your degree field to align with the subject you'll teach. A degree in mathematics supports a math teaching role, but a general education degree alone may not satisfy a specialized subject-matter position at the secondary or post-secondary level.
Target institutions with prior TN history
Community colleges, private universities, and language institutes sponsor TN teachers more routinely than K-12 public schools, which often face additional state licensing constraints. Search OFLC disclosure data to identify institutions that have filed TN-related documentation for teaching roles.
Secure state licensure before the offer stage
Public school districts in most states require a valid state teaching license before they can extend an offer. Obtain your license or a credential evaluation early so licensure gaps don't stall or disqualify your sponsorship during the filing process.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-ready teaching employers
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers actively sponsoring TN visa teaching positions. Filtering by TN-eligible roles saves time and connects you directly with institutions already familiar with the sponsorship process for Canadian and Mexican professionals.
Prepare your support letter before negotiating
Your employer's support letter must specify your teaching duties, the degree requirement for the role, your qualifications, and your anticipated start date. Drafting a template with your future employer before salary and contract negotiation begins prevents delays at the offer acceptance stage.
Request TN status at the port of entry if you're Canadian
Canadian citizens don't file with USCIS for TN status. You apply directly at a U.S. land border crossing or preclearance airport with your support letter, degree credentials, and passport. Processing is typically same-day, so your start date can follow within days of the offer.
Teaching TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a teaching role qualify for the TN visa?
Yes, teaching is explicitly listed as a qualifying TN occupation under USMCA. The position must require at least a baccalaureate degree in education or a relevant subject area, and your degree must align with the subject matter you'll teach. Adjunct, visiting, and full-time faculty roles at colleges and universities are the most straightforward cases. K-12 public school positions may also qualify but often require state licensure that must be secured separately.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for teaching jobs?
The TN visa has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and no multi-month USCIS petition wait for Canadians applying at the border. H-1B visa requires employer sponsorship through a lottery that selects only a fraction of applicants each year and takes months to adjudicate. For Canadian and Mexican teachers, TN is a faster and more predictable path. The tradeoff is that TN is nonimmigrant intent only, while H-1B allows dual intent for permanent residency planning.
Can I use Migrate Mate to find teaching jobs that sponsor the TN visa?
Yes. Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for TN visa-eligible teaching roles, filtering out positions at employers unfamiliar with or unwilling to support TN sponsorship. This is more efficient than applying broadly and discovering sponsorship limitations late in the hiring process. Canadian and Mexican teachers can use Migrate Mate to target institutions that have already navigated the TN process for educators.
Do I need a state teaching license for TN visa sponsorship?
It depends on the institution and the state. Post-secondary positions at colleges and universities typically don't require state licensure for TN eligibility. Public K-12 school districts in most states do require a valid state license before they can offer employment, which is a prerequisite to sponsoring any work visa. Private K-12 schools vary by state. Confirm the licensing requirement with each employer before advancing through the hiring process.
What documents does my employer need to provide for my TN filing?
Your employer must provide a detailed support letter on institutional letterhead that describes your specific teaching duties, confirms the position requires a baccalaureate or higher degree, states your qualifications for the role, identifies your expected start date, and lists your anticipated length of employment. For Canadian applicants, this letter accompanies your credentials at the port of entry. For Mexican applicants, it supports your consular visa application.
