Entry Level Research Professor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level research professor job?
Start by completing or defending your doctoral dissertation, since most entry level research professor postings require an earned PhD or proof of near-completion. A record of peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, or funded grants sets candidates apart at this stage. Teaching assistant experience and a clear research agenda also signal readiness, and networking through academic conferences can surface openings before they are publicly posted.
Which companies hire entry level research professors?
Companies hiring entry level research 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 comes from a mix of research universities, liberal arts colleges, government research labs, and private sector R&D centers that bring on early-career faculty or staff scientists.
Are there remote entry level research professor jobs?
Yes, though most academic roles are campus-based. About 0% of entry level research professor openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to be industry research positions or online-focused institutions rather than traditional tenure-track faculty roles at residential universities.
Are these new grad research professor jobs?
Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior research professor roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts an ABD or recently conferred PhD, and treats internship research, teaching assistant work, or a dissertation project as qualifying experience rather than requiring a full publication record.
Which industries hire the most entry level research professors?
Entry Level research 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 early-career hiring because they maintain active research programs, depend on a steady pipeline of doctoral graduates, and need faculty or staff researchers to lead projects that experienced hires are too senior or expensive to staff.
