Hello,

I am have created an Express Entry profile, but am still unsure about the correct NOC I need to use.
I have a Bsc in Industrial and Systems Engineering, and work primarily in Data Analysis, Data Visualisation, and Database admin/programming.
However, I work under a research in a university, and have been under the title of Research Assistant for the past 2 years.
I don't have much relevant work history other than what I have mentioned.

So should I select the NOC 2172 for Database analysts and data administrators or
NOC 4012 for Post-secondary teaching and research assistants ?

I am inclined to use 2172 as it is more desirable for EE, but also do not want my application to be rejected because my current official title is Research Assistant.

Kindly Advise.
