The Binghamton University Biomedical Engineering visiting-scholar opportunity is conducted through the US J-1 Scholar route. It is for applicants with a relevant background and at least the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree. Visitors conduct research and academic exchange in Biomedical Engineering and related laboratories under a host professor's supervision.

The visit may last up to five years, subject to the University's final DS-2019 approval. An extension may be requested where University rules are met and both parties agree. Research must be conducted on site at Binghamton University; remote work may account for no more than 40% of the appointment.
