Scholar Resume Template

Scholar sets the body in justified serif text under small-caps section labels centred on the page, closer to a CV than a designed resume. Custom sections render as a numbered list, which suits publications, talks or grants better than a bulleted one.

How the Scholar layout works

There is almost no colour and no structural flourish — the format exists to get out of the way of dense, list-heavy content, which is the actual shape of an academic or research career history.

Columns
One, justified body text

Not used
Accent
Minimal — section labels only
Best length
One to two pages

Who Scholar suits

  • Academic, research, postdoctoral and grant applications that expect a CV register
  • Anyone with a publications or presentations list that needs numbered, not bulleted, formatting
  • Fields where a designed layout would read as a mismatch for the content

When to pick something else: Industry roles rarely expect this register and may read it as overly formal. Classic or Professional fit a standard job application better.
