The Compact template — ultra-space-efficient single-column. Perfect ATS score for senior roles with dense experience. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.

Biologist Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I present research experience on a biologist resume?

List each project with the research question, techniques used, and outcome — e.g. "Ran qPCR-based gene expression assays across 200+ samples, identifying a biomarker later cited in 3 peer-reviewed papers." Include your PI and institution for credibility.

Should a biologist resume include publications?

Yes — add a dedicated "Publications" or "Presentations" section with full citations, formatted consistently. If you have more than 5-6, list the most relevant and note "full list available on request."
