About the role

Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY) seeks a Staff Counsel specializing in employment-based immigration to advise on immigration and employment law matters. The role entails end-to-end case handling for about 100 active petitions annually and collaboration with HR and Legal Affairs leadership. You will monitor deadlines, maintain case records, and liaise with researchers, administrators, and CUNY personnel while supporting governance and contracts work as needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
