Research Assistant Job Description

A research assistant is a paid position in a research lab.

The research assistant performs research tasks under the supervision of a researcher.

Research assistants can work on projects related to their field of study, or they may be asked to complete tasks that are not applicable to their major.

Research assistants can also work in fields outside of academia, including work related to marketing, business, and government.

Research assistants typically work in laboratories, where they perform all tasks related to their research.

However, they can work in collaborative environments, such as in a medical research laboratory, where they work closely with other scientists.
