H-1B sponsorship profile: Duke University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Duke University filed 838 Labor Condition Applications covering 838 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 84.8% (711 certified of 838 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on Duke University’s H-1B petitions range from $40,000 at the low end to $763,188 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $94,691. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Associate (190 petitions at $63,973 avg), followed by Assistant Professor and Research Associate Senior. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.

Geographic footprint. Duke University is headquartered in Durham, NC under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in NC. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.
