Research associates typically hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent terminal degree in their discipline; have received equivalent professional recognition; or have demonstrated exceptional artistic abilities. They are primarily involved in laboratory (rather than clinical) research, although they are not principal investigators except with the written approval of the vice president for research. They are not members of the faculty and are ineligible for tenure. Research associates may be appointed for a term of up to three years.
Postdoctoral fellows are individuals with recently granted degrees of PhD or MD or the equivalent terminal degree who are primarily involved in continuing postgraduate education or training in conducting research. Postdoctoral fellows are normally paid through the university payroll system and are research staff appointments.
