Positive Experience as a Research Assistant - Computational Research Assistant University of Chicago Employee Review

Excellent benefits, flexible schedule, good autonomy

not APP driven, can feel like a small fish in a big pond, little input from management

Great students, smart colleagues, and a strong academic environment. The University of Chicago has real institutional prestige, and teaching here can be intellectually very rewarding.

Workload can be high relative to job security and advancement opportunities. Career paths for non-tenure-track faculty are limited, and service expectations can add up quickly alongside teaching and administrative demands that are called "4b duties".
