How do I get an entry level research associate professor job?
Start by completing or finishing a doctoral degree in your field, since most entry level research associate professor positions require at least a Ph.D. in progress or recently conferred. Candidates who stand out at this stage typically have peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, or strong dissertation chapters ready to share. A clear research agenda and evidence of teaching or mentoring experience, even from graduate assistantships, give hiring committees a concrete reason to bring you in.
Which companies hire entry level research associate professors?
Companies hiring entry level research associate professors right now include Virginia Tech, University of Florida, and University of Rochester, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from research universities, medical schools, independent research institutes, and government-funded laboratories that have open projects and need early-career faculty to build out their teams.
Are there remote entry level research associate professor jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level are campus- or lab-based given the hands-on nature of the work. About 0% of entry level research associate professor openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to appear in computational fields, public health research, and social sciences where data analysis and writing can happen off-site.
Are these new grad research associate professor jobs?
Yes, many of the listings on this page are new grad friendly and suit recent graduates entering academic or research careers for the first time. A new grad posting at this level typically welcomes candidates with zero to two years of post-degree experience, counts doctoral internships or graduate research as qualifying background, and may accept an outstanding dissertation or a small portfolio of publications in place of a lengthy employment history.
Which industries hire the most entry level research associate professors?
Entry Level research associate professor roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they receive consistent funding for original research and rely on early-career faculty to staff new projects, teach undergraduate or graduate courses, and produce the publications that sustain institutional rankings and grant eligibility.
