Address 1501 N. Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85724 USA
Position Highlights
The Department of Medicine seeks dynamic physician scientists to join and expand our outstanding biomedical research team, with multiple tenure-track faculty positions available at the rank of Assistant to Full Professor. Appointees will maintain a productive research program and provide patient care directly. Other responsibilities will include teaching and supervision of trainees and students.
We are interested in applicants in any area of scientific investigation and clinical subspecialty, and especially welcome those whose research focus is more broadly in the areas of aging, genomic medicine and bioinformatics, obesity and metabolism, healthcare delivery and policy (including AI), cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, rheumatology/immunotherapy, infectious disease/microbiology, cancer biology, and kidney/gastrointestinal disorders. Academic rank and compensation (including generous start up support) are dependent upon qualifications.

Search Physician Jobs in ArizonaPhysician Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa types are most common for physician roles in Arizona?
The J-1 Conrad 30 waiver and H-1B are the two most common pathways for international physicians in Arizona. J-1 waiver positions are frequently tied to medically underserved areas (MUAs) and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), which are well represented across rural Arizona and parts of the Navajo Nation. H-1B sponsorship is more common with large health systems for specialty physician roles.
Which companies sponsor visas for physicians in Arizona?
Banner Health, Dignity Health (now CommonSpirit Health), Honor Health, and Valleywise Health are among the larger Arizona employers with histories of sponsoring international physicians. Federally Qualified Health Centers such as El Rio Health and Maricopa County's public health network also sponsor J-1 waiver physicians for roles in underserved communities. Academic institutions like the University of Arizona Health Network sponsor physicians across teaching and clinical roles.
Which cities in Arizona have the most physician sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix and its East Valley suburbs (Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler) account for the largest share of physician sponsorship activity, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems and multispecialty groups. Tucson is a secondary hub, with University of Arizona Health Sciences anchoring academic and clinical hiring. Rural areas including Yuma, Flagstaff, and tribal health regions post consistent J-1 waiver openings due to ongoing physician shortages.
How to find physician visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate filters physician openings specifically to employers willing to sponsor work visas, saving you the time of screening hundreds of listings manually. You can narrow results to Arizona and filter by physician specialty to surface relevant roles at health systems, FQHCs, and academic medical centers. Because Arizona has active J-1 waiver and H-1B pipelines, new positions appear regularly, so checking Migrate Mate frequently is worthwhile.
Are there state-specific considerations for physicians seeking sponsorship in Arizona?
Arizona participates in the Conrad 30 J-1 waiver program, and the Arizona Department of Health Services administers a limited number of waiver slots each year, prioritizing placements in HPSAs and MUAs. Physicians should verify that a prospective employer is an approved J-1 waiver sponsor and that the practice site meets the geographic eligibility criteria before accepting an offer. Arizona also has a significant rural health initiative that can affect site eligibility and contract terms.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored physician jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
