Research Scientist Salaries in the United States
Submit a Salary"I am actually a graduate student. The rate at which I am getting paid is standard among the universities. Of course when I start to work I would expect to get paid higher wages compared to now.Also I have graduate scholarship so the department covers all my fees. This has taken a lot off my shoulders in terms of student loans since I do not have any."
