An associate's degree is an academic degree conferred by a two-year college, as opposed to a bachelor's degree from a college or university (typically 4 years of study in the United States, for example). A doctorate is one of the highest ranking degrees conferred by a university, and the number of years of study varies from three to ten (excluding previous bachelor's or master's studies). It used to be that those pursuing the title of Doctor were required to first attain their master's degree, but some programs accept students straight out of undergraduate studies.
Any researcher who holds a bachelor or masters degree and working for an organization. In universities holds a doctoral degree.
You need a PhD, which is beyond a Master's Degree. Meaning that you'd get an Associate's first, then a Bachelor's, then a Master's, then a Doctoral.

It really depends on the subject area of the associates degree and whether or not vacancies are available. In terms of educational qualification, an associates degree comes in between a GED and a bachelor's degree. Therefore, an associates degree holder would be picked before a GED only holder.
A doctoral degree can take approximately three to four years after completion of a bachelors degree.
If you are a doctoral candidate, you do not yet have a doctoral degree and so do not have credentials at that level. You may have a Bachelors or Masters degree that you can list if you want.
