Kind of a Dumb Question but can W2s be a specified length?

I'm interested in a W2 position, but am trying to negotiate a 1 year contract as opposed to "at will" employment where I could be fired any second (after moving like 12 hours away to an expensive area).

Is this a thing? or would that have to be 1099?
