# Companies hiring research associates (2026)

> Employers whose active postings most often carry the title Research Associate, ranked by posting volume. Shares only.

**Canonical URL:** https://jobspipe.dev/hiring/role/research-associate

Every company on this list posts Research Associate among its ten most frequent titles in JobsPipe's index of active postings. Companies are ordered by the volume of active postings attributed to them, largest first, and the list is capped at one hundred.

Remote share is the fraction of a company's active postings that carry a remote flag. New in 30 days is the fraction of its open roles first sighted by the crawler in the last 30 days, a cross-sectional read of how much of the backlog is fresh. Top roles are the three titles the company posts most. Every figure is a share; JobsPipe does not publish counts.

To reproduce the rows behind any company, POST to /v1/jobs/search with job_title_or set to ["Research Associate"], status set to active, and company_name_or set to the company's name as it appears on the posting.

## Method

Denominator: active postings from the company on the ten collected boards (deduplicated by posting id); recency shares use the crawl sighting log. Generated 2026-09-10. Companies are attributed by the employer domain on each posting and ordered by their volume of active postings; only shares are published.

Reproduce the underlying rows:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/jobs/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOBSPIPE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"active","limit":25,"job_title_or":["Research Associate"]}'
