Research Associate with the best hours?

Do smaller firms tend to have better hours for research associates? Which fields would you say have less hours?
Is there a transition from research associate in any field that provides less hours?

I have no problems working the hours now. But I understand when I get married and have kids that it is important to have more practical hours (ends at 5-6 P.M.). The pay at this point is not relevant.

Thanks in advance and sorry if I sound newbie...
