Being a researcher is an unusual job, in that few such positions are advertised and paid, as opposed to jobs such as being a staff psychiatrist on an inpatient unit with clinical care and teaching responsibilities. Most researchers do have a salary, via a University, but the funds for that salary are usually obtained by the researcher herself, from a source like the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), or a pharmaceutical company interested in doing research on its product.
