<p>Do research scientists&postdocs work for a prof?
I think postdocs generally do, but what about research scientists?</p>

<p>Postdocs in academia work under professors, but postdocs working outside of academia, such as for a national lab or something, work under other PhDs…but they are established PhDs.</p>

<p>What about research scientists?</p>
