FSU departments seeking to hire international scholars, students, and permanent employees will need reach out to the appropriate immigration advisor at FSU, as well as ensuring compliance with RAMP Export Control and Human Resources policies concerning international employees.
For post-doctoral appointments, Professional Research Assistants, and other paid temporary positions requiring a J-1 visa, please refer to the FSU Center for Global Engagement’s Temporary Scholar Employee webpage. For questions, email jscholar@fsu.edu to reach the J-1 Program Manager.
For international F-1 student hires, please visit the FSU Center for Global Engagement’s webpage on On-Campus Employment, Curricular Practical Training and Optional Practical Training. Candidates who are in F-1 status currently but who are not enrolled at or graduated from FSU will need to reach out to the immigration advisor at the institution they attend or from which they graduated for more information on the steps to obtain U.S. employment authorization (SEVIS transfer if starting a degree at FSU; otherwise CPT, OPT, or STEM OPT).
For international permanent faculty or staff positions or questions regarding H-1B, O-1, TN, and Permanent Residency, please contact Leslie Crosdale (lcrosdale@fsu.edu)
RAMP Screening
Screening through RAMP (Research Administration Management Portal) is required for all hires at FSU who will be engaged in research and/or working in an academic department.
