Purdue’s faculty searches are intended to be independent of considerations related to citizenship or immigration status, or national or ethnic origin. As a result, depending on the discipline, the most viable candidate might sometimes be international.

International candidates usually (but not always) require immigration sponsorship to undertake employment in the USA. Purdue therefore requires immigration sponsorship be made available for all tenure-track, tenured, and clinical/professional faculty positions, In doing so, we ensure that discussion of citizenship / immigration status, and national / ethnic origin remains irrelevant to the evaluation of the applicants. 

The side menu provides quick lints to the immigration topics relevant to searches and hiring new international faculty.
