prestige comes at a cost - Postdoctoral Research Associate SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Employee Review

The opportunity to contribute to high-impact scientific research while collaborating with a dedicated, intelligent team was truly rewarding.

Flexibility with hours and time off Project ownership Friendly community of employees and visiting scientists/engineers

Limited upward mobility Rigid pay structure
