In everyday English, yes. I personally have some misgivings about it in careful or formal English. I don't think it is the best sentence ever written.

No, the word "researcher" is fine in itself. It is the combination "researcher on ~" that I personally do not feel absolutely enthusiastic about. Others may differ.
