Replace "junior" with "board-eligible"

Junior only has a negative implication if you let it. The definition of junior just means of lower rank or experience. And a junior physicist does have less experience and therefore lower rank than a certified physicist.

May be "Associate" is a better word than "Junior"

I think most to all of the above titles have their place in the field (Lead physicist, maybe only in a very large department). Junior Physicist conveys a position for someone either early in their career, lesser in experience, or both. And while those attributes could be written as years of experience, types of experience and so forth, I believe that Junior Physicist is one way to speak to that.

I think "junior" denotes in some small way the level of experience expected. I am more inclined to use it in recruitment than as an official title at an institution.

I don't have a problem with the term "junior" - I think that we need to earn the term physicist and 2 years of clinical work doesn't necessarily cut it. I also think that the term is needed to define salary range as well. People need to be humble.

Regarding today's world with mandatory residency, junior would suit those who have completed a residency but are not yet board-certified.

Do you have a real job or do you just post online and create monkey surveys? I want to work for your employer.
