Job title. Is there a Swedish equivalent?

Swedish translation:forskarassistent
Explanation:
Är det akademiskt? Forskarassistent motsvarar Research Associate, och "senior" behöver inte nödvändigtvis översättas om du lämnar den ursprungliga titeln inom parentes. Annars skulle jag skriva överassistent/forskning eller dylikt.

Example sentence(s):
  • Forskarassistent in Sweden is equivalent to Research Associate/Assistant Professor/Senior Post-Doctoral (usually a 4 year contract).
  • Forskarassistent (även kortare: "foass") är i Sverige en (vanligen) 4- eller 5-årig universitetstjänst som fås i konkurrens mellan forskare som disputerat högst fem år tidigare.

  -> Tack!
disagree  Thomas Johansson: It's not an assistant! Besides, forskarassistent would be "research assISTANT".

  -> No. Research assistant is a forskningsassistent, which does not require a degree.

Explanation:
Senior används för att markera att man har lång erfarenhet inom ämnet/branchen/företaget. Man använder inte det på svenska, titlar är ju mindre viktiga i Sverige.
Associate betyder oftast delägare med kan även vara (extern) medarbetare eller konsult.
Skulle vara intressant att få mer information för att på så sätt kunna veta exakt titel.
Alltså:
Delägare forskning/vetenskaplig undersökning
Konsult forskning/vetenskaplig undersökning
