Overview:
Quinnipiac University and the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Arts & Sciences seeks an engaging, student-centered, and knowledgeable educator with a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching. The successful candidate will primarily teach Human Anatomy and Physiology, with the possibility of contributing to introductory biology lecture and laboratory courses. While applicants from a broad range of biological disciplines will be considered, candidates with expertise relevant to Human Anatomy and Physiology are especially encouraged to apply. The Human Anatomy and Physiology sequence of undergraduate courses are typically taken by students in the allied health and nursing programs. Laboratory instruction utilizes a combination of anatomical models, mammalian organ dissection, plastinated human donors, online resources, and virtual human dissection tools. Faculty and students also benefit from Quinnipiac University’s recently opened, state-of-the-art science teaching and research laboratories within the Science, Innovation, Technology, and Exploration (SITE) building.
The start date is August 10, 2026. This is a full-time, non-tenure-track teaching position, with appointment at the initial rank of Assistant Teaching Professor or Instructor, depending on the highest degree earned. The position is renewable and offers opportunities for promotion within the teaching faculty track.
In addition to teaching responsibilities, the position includes advising and mentoring students, as well as participating in service activities and committees that support and strengthen the program, department, college, and university community.
The Department of Biological Sciences includes 25 full-time faculty whose expertise spans disciplines from Molecular Genetics to Ecology. The department values collaborative teaching, student mentorship, and inclusive pedagogical practices. Faculty benefit from a collaborative, student-centered teaching environment and strong institutional support for pedagogical innovation.
This position requires a regular on-campus, in-person presence at Quinnipiac University’s Mount Carmel campus.

Search Teaching Jobs in ConnecticutTeaching Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
Which employers in Connecticut sponsor visas for teaching roles?
Connecticut's larger public school districts, including Hartford Public Schools, Bridgeport Public Schools, and New Haven Public Schools, have histories of sponsoring H-1B visas for qualified specialty teachers. Private independent schools and higher education institutions such as Yale University and the University of Connecticut also sponsor international educators, particularly for postsecondary teaching and research-adjacent roles.
Which visa types are most common for teaching jobs in Connecticut?
The H-1B is the most common visa for postsecondary and specialty K-12 teaching roles that require a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. The J-1 visa is also widely used, particularly through exchange visitor programs that place teachers in public schools. Some roles at private institutions may qualify under O-1 visa for educators with distinguished records. TN visa classification covers certain teaching roles for Canadian and Mexican nationals.
How to find teaching visa sponsorship jobs in Connecticut?
Migrate Mate filters teaching jobs in Connecticut specifically by visa sponsorship, so you're not sorting through listings from employers who won't support international candidates. Search for teaching roles on Migrate Mate and filter by Connecticut to see current openings at school districts, private schools, and universities that have sponsored visas before. This saves significant time compared to reviewing unfiltered postings.
Which cities in Connecticut have the most teaching sponsorship jobs?
Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven concentrate the highest volume of teaching sponsorship opportunities because their large public school districts serve high-need populations and actively recruit for bilingual, special education, and STEM positions. Stamford and Waterbury also post teaching openings regularly. University-adjacent cities like Storrs and Middletown see sponsorship activity primarily through higher education institutions.
Are there any Connecticut-specific considerations for international teachers seeking sponsorship?
Connecticut requires teachers in public schools to hold a state-issued educator certification, and international candidates must have credentials evaluated for equivalency before certification is granted. This evaluation process takes time and should be started early. Districts sponsoring H-1B visas must pay the prevailing wage as determined by the Department of Labor, which is tied to local wage data for Connecticut teaching positions specifically, not national averages.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored teaching jobs in Connecticut?
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.
