Hi Bryan,


A research assistant is usually a temporary position. While you are obtaining your PhD or doing a postdoc, you are a research assistant in another scientist's lab. However, assistant isn't a good description of your role. Really you will have your own research project, and your advisor will guide you. Once you complete your PhD and postdoc, you can go on to become a professor and lead a lab of your own, or work as a scientist in a research institute or industry.
