Need suggestion on NOC for Postdoctoral fellow

[Anmed]

Hi Friends: I am going to post my application under CEC in October 2012. I have a doubt regarding NOC. I am a postdoctoral fellow, which would come under NOC-A. But, When I checked my work permit, it says that "Post-secondary teaching assistant". I am wondering now, if I give NOC-A code, there will be any problem on my application to process? Pleas suggest me! My offer letter and my experience letter mentioned that "post-doctoral fellow".

Please kindly reply me.
Thnaks
Anmed.

post-doctoral fellow NOC:


Post-doctoral fellows can be either the direct recipients of an award or be offered a time-limited position to undertake research on behalf of or as part of a team of researchers. Universities vary in their methods and criteria used in assessing candidates and offering post-doctoral fellowships. Officers should assess the written offer from a responsible academic official (professor or higher) which will state the amount of remuneration, location, nature and expected duration of the term of employment, and will not be concerned with the source of remuneration.
Occupational code
Given the absence of an occupational code in the NOC for post-doctoral fellows, please use the applicant‘s specialty. For example, an applicant in Earth Sciences could be coded 2113 as a geologist or 2115.2 as a soil scientist.
Please DO NOT code post-doctoral fellows as post-secondary research assistants, NOC code 4122.1, as this creates internal problems at universities and impacts applications for permanent residence, since the educational and skill levels are lower.
