摘要：

本研究以某“985工程”高校劳动合同制科研助理岗位的申请和审核机制作为切入点，采用质性研究的方法，抽取大学、学院、教师和科研助理这4类利益相关者进行访谈，探索前三方在聘用科研助理时所持的立场、动机和诉求，研究“首席研究员制”下高校科研过程的变革。研究发现，科研助理的聘用问题折射出高校建立的以“首席研究员团队”为典型制度特征的科研过程新样态；对科研过程的全流程审计制度激化了教师个体之间的竞争；通过劳动合同制的方式聘用科研助理，既改变了科研团队的构成方式，也给知识生产过程所要求的学术合作带来挑战；多方利益相关主体需要在新处境下做权宜调整和科研管理方式的变革。

Abstract:

This research takes the application and review mechanism of labor contract research assistant position in a “985” university as the starting point, adopts the method of qualitative research, and selects four types of stakeholders: the university, schools, professors and research assistants to conduct interviews to explore their positions, motivations and demands of the three parties in the employment of scientific research assistants. It also analyzes the reform of the scientific research process under the “Principal Investigator System” in the university. The study found that the employment of scientific research assistants reflected the new pattern of scientific research process established by universities with “PI team” as a typical institutional feature. The whole-process audit system for the scientific research process intensifies the competition among professors. Through the labor contract system hiring scientific research assistants not only changes the composition of the scientific research team, but also hinders the academic cooperation required in the knowledge production process. Multi-stakeholders need to make expedient adjustments and changes in scientific research management methods under the new situation.

Key words: research assistant, Principal Investigator System, individual competition, academic cooperation
