Phd researcher vs doctoral student

Differences between phd researcher and doctoral student duties and responsibilities

Phd researcher example responsibilities.

• Manage and mentore graduate and undergraduate students in their physical chemistry relate studies and research projects on spin dynamics simulations.
• Evaluate data employing GC/MS, gel electrophoresis, and UV/VIS spectroscopy.
• Perform testing using gel electrophoresis as well as mixed and pour the gels used in testing
• Optimize and redesign robotic components base on FEA for improve strength using ANSYS and SOLIDWORKS.
• Coauthor an NIH grant proposal on DNA mismatch repair and malaria drug resistance (5R21AI072723-02).
• Design a scent dispenser 3D model in SolidWorks and build a prototype by utilizing MasterCam and CNC machines.

Doctoral student example responsibilities.

• Manage multiple collaborative projects peripheral to dissertation that leverage experience in characterization and inorganic synthesis.
• Lead the in-vitro biophysical and biochemical characterization of homologous recombination and investigate structure-function effects of mutant enzymes.
• Used RT-PCR, ELISA, western blot, culture of establish cell lines, and immunohistochemistry.
• Apply NMR techniques to assess the effect of a health supplement on neurological changes in Alzheimer s disease.
• Analyze the molecular structures by NMR and FR-IR, determine the molecular weight and polymerization kinetics by GPC.
• Develop complex ELISA and western blot methods to study and characterize the host immune response to intracellular parasitism.
