Iowa State University of Science and Technology
Iowa State University of Science and Technology made 118 filings covering 118 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $73,004 a year. 118 of those 118 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
Iowa State University of Science and Technology filed 5 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-06 and 2026-04-02, of which 5 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.

One email when Iowa State University of Science and Technology appears in a new quarterly release, or files a permanent labour certification — which is the signal that it sponsors green cards.
