And I'd love to work assisting cutting-edge research, but I also am not willing to cut my salary that severely. I wonder if there is a way to do this that doesn't presume near-grad-student rates.
- analog31 6y agoMy spouse works at the nearby public university as a non tenure track scientist. The work certainly pays better than a grad student stipend. I'm not sure how it compares to entry level "science" jobs that are basically manual factory work such as transferring liquids from one tray to another using a pipette. The good thing is that public universities tend to post jobs with salary ranges, so you can get an idea of what labs are looking for what, at what pay rate. The pay tends to follow the expectation of having a somewhat less competitive and intensive work environment, more flexible hours, etc.
