Returning J1 visa holder

Hi,

 

During 2020, while I was a student, I visited the US for 28 days as a J1 short time visitor.

 

On December 16, 2024 I returned to the US as a J1 Research Scholar for a postdoc.

 

Will I still be considered a "nonresident alien" for two calendar years, despite the previous J1 visa?

 

Thanks.
