Question

What is the salary range for a research associate?

Answer 1

That really depends on for whom and on what kind of research you would be working. If you are talking about working for a marketing research firm, you might make $35-$45K. If you mean at a university, you might make much more working on medical research than you would get more than if you were doing library research for a historian.

This changes not only by school and major but can be different depending on how you are funded. If you are funded by outside research you typically get a little more than just being funded by a school.



My funding covers my tuition and I get $12,000 a year.
