![]() Also, if you are a Researcher it should imply that you have a PhD since a PhD candidate/student is learning how to be a researcher and therefore not a qualified researcher yet. It usually refers to a person taking a short term 1-3 years individual Post-Doc after his/her PhD. Also a post-doctoral researcher is something more specific. "PhD Researcher" implies that this person has a PhD. You haven't given us enough detail about why you care for us to helpfully answer your question. If you don't like the answer you find, you can either live with that, find a workaround, or fight (presumably through a legislative body if that place has one) for change. If titles matter where you are, then find the law or bureaucratic codes that define "researcher" and follow them. Are you looking to validate your ego, to overcome an officious rule that says that only "researchers" may do some thing or other, or are you looking for something else? Except in a few places, titles matter little. ![]() Why do you care if PhD students (who I agree do "research") are "researchers" or not? Of course they are researchers because I think that anyone who does research is a researcher (paid, student, or otherwise). Not every PhD student did a Master's degree before the began their PhD studies. Neither of these is determinative of whether a student is a researcher. I don't see the point in your distinctions in either bullet.
