INTRODUCTION
Who We Are
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.

Which biotech & pharma companies sponsor Green Card visas in North Carolina?
Several major employers in North Carolina have sponsored Green Cards for biotech and pharma workers, including Biogen and Novo Nordisk in the Research Triangle Park area, as well as contract research organizations like Syneos Health and ICON. Smaller clinical-stage biotechs and university-affiliated research institutes in the Durham and Chapel Hill corridor also sponsor Green Cards, primarily through the EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based categories via the PERM labor certification process.
Which cities in North Carolina have the most biotech & pharma Green Card sponsorship jobs?
The Research Triangle region, covering Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, is by far the most active area for biotech and pharma Green Card sponsorship in North Carolina. Research Triangle Park itself hosts dozens of pharmaceutical and life sciences employers. Charlotte has a smaller but growing presence in medical devices and specialty pharma. Outside these hubs, Wilmington hosts a notable pharmaceutical manufacturing cluster with some sponsoring employers.
What types of biotech & pharma roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in North Carolina?
Roles that commonly qualify include research scientists, bioinformaticians, clinical trial managers, regulatory affairs specialists, pharmacovigilance analysts, biostatisticians, and process development engineers. These positions typically require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a relevant scientific field, and many Green Card petitions in this industry are filed under EB-2, which generally requires an advanced degree or a showing of exceptional ability in the biological sciences, chemistry, or related disciplines.
How do I find biotech & pharma Green Card sponsorship jobs in North Carolina?
Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for biotech and pharma roles in North Carolina where employers are open to Green Card sponsorship, saving significant time compared to reviewing general job listings. Because Green Card sponsorship involves a multi-step process including PERM labor certification, targeting employers with an established immigration infrastructure, as visible on Migrate Mate's job board, is a practical starting point for your search.
Are there state-specific or industry-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in North Carolina's biotech sector?
North Carolina does not impose state-level immigration requirements on top of federal Green Card processes, but the PERM labor certification step requires employers to demonstrate through documented recruitment that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. In North Carolina's competitive Research Triangle market, where local talent pools in biosciences are deep due to proximity to Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, and NC State, satisfying PERM prevailing wage and recruitment requirements demands careful employer preparation.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card biotech & pharma jobs in North Carolina?
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.
