Research Scientist

Research Scientists are paid appointees, supporting research projects directed by one or more faculty members and who generally have at least five years of postdoctoral experience. A doctoral degree is required.

Due to the importance of in-person mentoring with their faculty sponsor and having the opportunity to interact with colleagues and researchers within their department, it is expected that research scientists work on campus.

Please see the FAS Appointment and Promotion Handbook  for additional details and policies and procedures regarding research scientist appointments, which are governed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS).
