Do you get paid to be a research fellow?

Yes, you get paid to be a research fellow. Payment is often based on industry, location, and experience level. There are employer or university-specific requirements for some positions to be paid out. However, the general consensus for a research fellow is a regular paycheck provided by the institution or employer providing the position.

Research fellows may find themselves subject to other forms of revenue such as grants if they work in a field of study that requires heavy academic knowledge. Some institutions and employers may also offer secondary payment in incentives and bonuses.
