Postdoctoral Research Associate Benefits
Requires a doctoral degree. The postdoctoral appointment is temporary and conferred upon an individual who recently has been awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate and who will be involved in full-time research or scholarship. The appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic or research career, is supervised by a senior scholar, and the appointee has the freedom, and is expected to, publish the results of his/her research or scholarship during the period of the appointment.
