When you talk about "AI research", are you specifically referring to narrow AI or strong AI? Because these two fields are very different things, with very different requirements and skillsets.

If you happen to be referring to Strong AI, aka Friendly AGI, check out "So you want to be a Seed AI Programmer", assuming you haven't already seen it. http://web.archive.org/web/20101227203946/http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/wiki/So_You_Want_To_Be_A_Seed_AI_Programmer

Allegedly - but look at who the proponents are for why they might think that.

Thanks for the link. Made for interesting reading, even though I'm skeptical of some of the premises of it.
