Research associate

The title of research associate is used to denote an academic research position at a university or similar institution. A research associate usually conducts research under the supervision of a principal investigator. In contrast to a research assistant or research officer, a research associate often has a graduate degree like masters (e.g. Master of Science) or doctoral (e.g. Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Medicine) . In some cases it can be synonymous with postdoctoral research.
