Methodology: live listings classified as Research Scientist by our enrichment step, which reads each posting’s own description rather than its job title alone. Counts are live and change with the daily scrape; pay figures are the median of 207 advertised ranges, converted to annual USD, and are a directional guide rather than an offer.
