Lale,
One of My friends had a similar situation..He was on OPT(3 months left on OPT), visa had expired,working for a private company,they were trying to get a different visa for him so that he would be able to work..i am not sure what category of visa it was, so try google for the visa that have work authorisation..I am pretty sure there will be whole bunch of them and since u are working for an uniersity , i don't think u will have trouble in getting the visa..Of course , u will be in f-1 status even if u are in OPT..What i am telling you is that, u might not be able to get F-1 Visa when u are employed for the university even if u are in OPT..
Best of Luck
