Talk:Research assistant

NB: A note from personnel services at Oxford: "The university has both research assistant posts as well as research officer posts, and the department usually decides on the job title to reflect the duties and the grade of the post."

Middle paragraph - is this intended to be US-specific? In the UK, many research assistantships do _not_ have the possibility of doing a higher degree tagged on to them - apart from anything, some last as little as six months, and not all of research assistant jobs involve work that would be suitable for shaping into a thesis. The job does not last as long as the thesis takes - the thesis-chasing is constrained by (among other things) the duration of the contract. Regards, Notreallydavid 04:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I have been trying to find information regarding who set the guidelines or regulations to hire research assistantships at graduate level. e.g. How many hours are they allowed to work? Where can I have support this information from? any federal organization?

What about PDRA ("Postdoctoral Research Assistants")? I am neither junior nor underpaid. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.153.139.126 (talk) 16:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

doctor of Medicine is a graduate degree, thats why residency training is called postgraduate training, and premed school is undergrad. Hope that helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kushsinghmd (talk • contribs) 22:13, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Contributor maintains that assistants are NOT often on temporary contract and are NOT often enrolled in graduate studies, by removing relevant phrases. Mootros (talk) 16:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mootros, Did you read / understand the line I wrote here in the discussion ?! here it is again: "doctor of Medicine is a graduate degree, thats why residency training is called postgraduate training, and premed school is undergrad. Hope that helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kushsinghmd (talk • contribs) 22:13, 9 May 2010 (UTC)"

I'm saying that Doctor of Medicine is a graduate and doctoral degree, cause you edited this by deletion from the examples. And I reverted this, and I mentioned this in the discussion. So I really don't understand are you changing the subject or what ?! thanks—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kushsinghmd (talk • contribs) 17:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

This discussion is about duration of post. You were deleting facts (previously outsourced) i.e. often not temporary Why are doing this? Mootros (talk) 10:12, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

now I see your problem sir. Please Read the discussion from the begining of my first line, may be it will be clear to you this timeKushsinghmd (talk) 19:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC).

Response to third opinion request:

Folks, once again I'll say here that it's difficult to provide a 3O where the dispute is a matter of assumed knowledge. The proper way to decide this would be to provide evidence for a particular viewpoint. If the involved editors then find that they have different interpretations of that evidence, 3O is a great place to get a fresh viewpoint. I recommend that you both take the time to support your viewpoint with appropriate references. On a separate note, it seems that recent comments have become slightly "testy" :) You should each take extra care to assume good faith of each other at this stage. It's clear to me that you are both making sincere efforts to improve the article. cheers!—Thepm (talk) 22:06, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

wording

IP keeps reverting: saying that RA "may be " enrolled in study programme. The citation gives an example where this is the case in a specific country. Is pushing the envelope to say RAs "are often enrolled"? Mootros (talk) 18:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
