享受学费半价等优惠？但是我们系小秘说，postdoc比research associate的职位高，
转成research associate相当于降级了，会对以后找faculty position有影响，不能被
聘任为assistant professor，这个对吗？？ |

发帖数: 165 | 2 Your 系小秘 is definitely wrong. Usually the only actual difference between
research associate and postdoc is that research associate can have
retirement benefit, but posdoc doesn't.
For AP application, no difference between research associate and postdoc.
As for EB1B, it's really dependent on your school's policy (ask
international center). Usually most schools support research associate to
apply EB1B after 3-years of hire. |

Is this really true? Who should be asked about this policy? Thanks.

发帖数: 22 | 5 The definitions of research assiciate and postdoc depend on specific
universities. At Stanford, postdocs can only apply for J-1 visas, while
research associates get H-1Bs. Research associates also get paid more. In
terms of responsibility, research associates usually have to work on
specific projects, while postdocs have more flexibility in conducting their
own research. |
