Research Fellow

A Research Fellow is a NIH employee who possesses a doctoral degree and is on a time-limited, renewable appointment. The purpose of the Research Fellowship is to provide junior-level scientists experience in biomedical research while they provide a service relevant to the Institute or Center’s (IC) program needs. The Research Fellow will spend the entire fellowship in laboratory research, while supporting the performance of NIH intramural research. Scientists with considerable experience beyond postdoctoral training may be designated Senior Research Fellows .

To be eligible for a Research Fellowship, a candidate must have demonstrated outstanding scholastic achievement and the ability to conduct successfully, with minimal supervision, a pre-established program in laboratory research.

Because Research Fellows perform services for NIH in addition to the training experience, these positions apply against the IC’s Full-Time Equivalent Employment (FTE) ceiling.

A Research Fellow is a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident (green card, resident alien), or non-resident alien with a valid employment-authorized visa foreign national, who has been appointed to conduct health-related research at a NIH facility. Research Fellow (Visiting Program [VP]) appointments may be renewed; however, the total length of an appointment may not exceed the 5/8 Year Duration Policy . For foreign nationals on a visa, all renewals are subject to applicable visa restrictions.

As part of an effort to attract and retain top-level Research Fellow and Research Fellow (VP) candidates for a variety of different scientific disciplines, the NIH established the following programs:

Early Independent Scientist : an intramural component of the national NIH Director’s Early Independent Scientist (EIS) Program designed to support recent doctoral graduates in independent positions without the need to train further in a post-doctoral fellowship.
Independent Research Scholar (IRS) : a new program launched in 2019 focused to build the workforce diversity of independent research scientists.

Both Research Fellows and Research Fellows (VP) are Full-Time Equivalent Employment (FTE) positions.

Approvals (Process)

Research Fellows are appointed using Title 42(g) and approved by the delegated authority in each IC. Research Fellow appointments are traditionally approved by the Scientific Director (SD) for an initial 2-3 year period, but may be made for a shorter period (no less than 3 months). Depending on salary level and other pay components proposed, review and approval may be required from both the IC Title 42 Standing Committee and the NIH Compensation Committee (NCC). Please consult the Title 42 Pay Model for additional information.

For Research Fellows that require clinical credentialing, an additional approval must be received from the Director, CC (or delegate) after recommendation by the Clinical Center (CC) Credentials Committee and the Medical Executive Committee (MEC). For further information, please contact the Office of Credentialing Services, Clinical Center (OCS/CC) at [email protected] or 301-496-5937.

Additional approvals and requirements for Visiting Program fellows can be found at the Division of International Services .

Check Sheets / Checklists

There is currently no Deputy Director for Intramural Research (DDIR) -approved check sheet or checklist for the Research Fellow designation. Individual ICs may have additional requirements and check sheets. Please contact your Administrative Officer (AO) or HR Specialist for additional guidance.

Intramural scientists at the NIH, as is true for all scientists, should be committed to the responsible use of scientific tools and methods to seek new knowledge. While the general principles of scientific methodologies are universal, their detailed application may differ in various scientific disciplines and circumstances. All research staff in the Intramural Research Program should maintain exemplary standards of intellectual honesty in formulating, conducting, presenting, and reviewing research, as befits the leadership role of the NIH.

Within the NIH IRP, the ethical conduct of researchers is governed by the following three disciplines:

Research Ethics
Government Ethics

Ethics information may also be available through your specific IC. Please contact your Ethics Counselor for additional guidance.

Pay / Compensation

Pay and compensation for Title 42(g) appointed Research Fellows is based on the Title 42 Pay Model . Research Fellow salary ranges are in Band I. Depending on salary level and other pay components proposed, review and approval may be required from both the IC Title 42 Standing Committee and the NIH Compensation Committee (NCC).

For additional pay and compensation information for Research Fellow (VP) appointments, according to their specific visa requirements, please contact the Division of International Services (DIS) .

Recruitment Process / Appointment Mechanisms

Recruitment of a Research Fellow is made via Title 42(g) .

Sufficient outreach efforts must be taken to assure that a diverse pool of potential candidates (e.g. minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities) is made aware of fellowship opportunities. At a minimum, the candidate must possess a doctoral-level degree from an accredited institution of higher learning, including: Ph.D., M.D., D.V.M., D.D.S., D.M.D., Sc.D., or other research doctoral-degree widely recognized in U.S. academe as equivalent to a Ph.D.

Official position descriptions are not required. However, the supervisor must prepare a narrative statement fully describing the duties and responsibilities required.

Qualifications for a Research Fellow appointment include the following:

Appointees must be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent resident (green card, resident alien), or non-resident aliens with a valid employment-authorized visa.
Candidates must possess a Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.M.D., D.V.M. or equivalent degree in a biomedical, behavioral, or related science, or have been certified by a university as meeting all the requirements leading to such a doctorate.
Candidates must furnish proof that they meet educational requirements. For most scientists, official transcripts are required. For very senior scientists with established professional reputations who are well known in their fields, a copy of the doctoral degree, and professional license if any, may be sufficient. However, if the diploma does not indicate the field in which the doctorate is awarded (e.g., indicates only Doctor of Philosophy), then copies of transcripts or listings of courses are required.
Foreign educated scientists from certain countries (e.g., China) may be unable to provide official transcripts. In those rare cases, a copy of the diploma, with official English translation, if necessary, may be accepted. However, if the diploma does not indicate the field in which the doctorate is awarded (e.g., indicates only Doctor of Philosophy), then copies of transcripts or listings of courses, with official translation, are required.
Foreign education must be evaluated by an accredited organization to ensure that it is comparable to education received in the United States. ICs may wish to consult with the Division of International Services, ORS, and with OIR for preliminary advice on the equivalency of foreign degrees with U.S. doctorates. Simply because a degree is identified as a doctorate does not mean it is equivalent.
A minimum of two references is required from professionals in the field, attesting to the candidate’s scientific qualifications, credentials, and accomplishments. Additional references may be required depending upon Office of Intramural Research (OIR) policies and the Intramural Professional Designation (IPD) proposed.

In addition to the aforementioned process, the NIH has established two additional recruitment methods as part of an effort to attract and retain top-level candidates for a variety of different scientific disciplines:

Early Independent Scientist : an intramural component of the national NIH Director’s Early Independent Scientist (EIS) Program designed to support recent doctoral graduates in independent positions without the need to train further in a post-doctoral fellowship. Successful candidates are provided the resources to establish an independent research program, including salary and benefits, support for lab personnel, lab space, supplies, and start-up equipment. For additional information, please visit the Early Independent Scientists page as part of the IRP Web site.
Independent Research Scholar (IRS) : a new program launching in 2019 focused to build the workforce diversity of independent research scientists.

Research Fellow appointments are made via Title 42(g) and renewed in 1-year increments, according to the 5/8 Year Duration Policy . The maximum length of this fellowship is eight years, and the duration is determined by the length of time spent at NIH in all fellowship capacities, unless the scientist is approved for tenure-track or another staff NIH appointment. For foreign nationals on a visa, all renewals are subject to applicable visa restrictions.

A Research Fellow is not granted independent resources by their Institute, except for Early Independent Scientists.

Termination

Research Fellow appointments may be terminated before their expiration date for cause (e.g., personal or scientific misconduct), unsatisfactory performance, or administrative reasons, including but not limited to, programmatic changes and/or budgetary considerations. Terminations of a Research Fellow must follow the policies and processes appropriate to the Title 42(g) appointment mechanism.

Research Fellows

When you join kellogg as a research fellow, you become part of a community..

Every year, Kellogg offers a limited number of Research Fellow opportunities. These are full-time staff positions that last either 1 or 2 years during which the Fellows gain exposure to current academic research at Kellogg as well as hands-on experience assisting those projects. These are excellent opportunities for anyone who is considering applying to a PhD in a discipline related to business research.

The Fellows who are currently on staff have access to many resources for their professional and academic development. We organize panel discussions on topics such as PhD Admissions and PhD Life specifically for our pre-doctoral audience. We also offer training and advice on advanced computational techniques from the professional experts in our Research Support team. Research Fellows are encouraged to network with Kellogg's PhD students, join reading groups, and of course to take advantage of the rich array of research seminars and guest speakers that take place at Kellogg and Northwestern.

Kellogg is committed to creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive environment. We invest in programs, partnerships, initiatives, and events that unleash the transformative power of diversity and inclusion in the Kellogg community. Thus, we encourage people from underrepresented groups and non-dominant backgrounds to apply their unique contributions to our fellowship program. We are a proud member of the Pathways to Research and Doctoral Careers (PREDOC) consortium.

Main navigation

Standard practice guide policies, postdoctoral research fellows.

Since postdoctoral research training is a valuable educational path for scholars in certain academic fields, the University provides opportunities for individuals to be appointed as Research Fellows or Senior Research Fellows while receiving such training. Each Fellow’s hiring unit should assign a tenured or tenure track instructional or research faculty member to provide mentorship to him or her.

Regulations and Definitions

Titles and term of appointments.

Units at the University will use the title of Research Fellow when appointing individuals who already possess either a terminal doctoral degree (i.e. Ph.D.) or a professional doctorate (e.g., M.D., D.D.S, D.V.M.) and who are pursuing advanced scientific or scholarly training, which may be in a clinical setting but is outside of the traditional clinical service and does not involve direct patient care.
Units may appoint Fellows as either Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow, as appropriate to the circumstances. Research fellowships should be for one year or less, with the possibility of renewal in subsequent years, not to exceed a total of five years of postdoctoral training at the University.
Before extending an appointment offer, the hiring unit must first identify resources to support the appointment for the entire length of the appointment. If circumstances arise that require the hiring unit to terminate a Research Fellow appointment before the specified appointment end date, before notifying the Fellow the hiring unit should first consult with the appropriate Dean or Director and the Office of Academic Human Resources.
Research Fellows are appointed for the purpose of providing them with advanced training as described above in section II.A.1. At the outset of the appointment, the faculty member who has been assigned as a mentor to the Fellow should communicate the hiring unit’s standards regarding the responsibilities of the individual Research Fellows and the unit’s expectations for how they should progress through their training. Like all members of the University community, it is the responsibility of each Research Fellow to perform all related activities to the best of his or her ability, in a collegial manner and with the highest standards of integrity.
Typically and under the appointment terms, Research Fellows will receive a salary, regardless of fund source, for the services the unit expects them to perform. The most common arrangement is for the individual’s training to be accomplished through the performance of obligations on a sponsored grant or contract.
Research Fellows who are paid via a fellowship, regardless of fund source, under which no service to the University is required, are considered ”scholar trainees.” Units appointing “scholar trainees” may charge the cost of their fellowships to training grants, fellowships or various other University funds designated for such purposes. Appointments of such individuals will be at “0%” effort.
Hiring units will use the title of House Officer for persons with professional doctorates whose training will involve patient care responsibilities, in a manner consistent with provisions of the contract between the University and the House Officers Association.
Research Fellows whose program of activities will involve classroom teaching as an ”officer of instruction” must hold a separate appointment for this responsibility in a manner consistent with provisions of the contract between the University and the Lecturers’ Employee Organization.

Support of Research Fellows

Hiring units may pay fellowships and/or salaries and associated benefit costs with the type of funds described below:

Externally funded training grants or fellowships, which may be administered through the University or paid directly by the granting agency to the Fellow.
Sponsored research projects, when such training is consistent with the terms of the grant or contract.
University general funds or other funds.

Approval of Research Fellows

Before a mentor makes any type of commitment to hire a Research Fellow, the appointment must be approved by the Chairperson or the Dean/ Director of the teaching or research unit in which the appointment is to be made. Before approving a Research Fellow appointment, the Dean or Director will assure that the hiring unit has met the terms described below:
The hiring unit has identified or will be able to identify appropriate fund sources to cover the cost of the Fellow’s fellowship and/or salary and the required University contributions to fringe benefits associated with the fellowship for the entire duration of the appointment.
The hiring unit is able to make space available, if applicable, for the Fellow’s use.
The mentor and the Fellow have agreed upon a proposed training program that will enhance the Fellow’s scholarship and ability as a researcher.
The hiring unit has a conflict resolution process available to the Fellow to raise concerns or problems connected with the fellowship. Unit policies are described at: Dispute Resolution for Postdoctoral Research Fellows

Terms and Benefits of Research Fellow Appointments

All Research Fellows will:

Be required to enroll themselves and their dependents, as necessary, in the University group health and dental plans using the same rate structure that applies to University staff. The University may waive the requirement to enroll if the Fellow is covered by equivalent insurance, or for religious reasons. If the Fellow fails to enroll within thirty days after appointment, the Fellow will be enrolled as a one-person subscriber.
Have the opportunity to enroll in the University group life insurance program at the same cost and under the same conditions as University faculty and staff.
Be covered by the University’s worker’s compensation insurance and, when traveling on University business, by the University’s travel accident insurance.
Be listed in the appropriate University directories.
Have access to the University’s libraries on the same basis as research faculty
Have the opportunity to use recreational facilities and to purchase athletic event tickets and University parking permits under the same conditions and at the same cost as for University faculty and staff.
Upon certification by the mentor of successful completion of training, the Rackham Graduate School will issue a suitable recognition to the Fellow and will notify the Alumni Records Office for inclusion of the Fellow in its records.
Annual vacation allowance equivalent to one month in twelve (22 workdays) for fellows appointed in yearlong increments. Fellows who are either part-time (i.e. less than 100% effort) or who are appointed for at least six months but less than one year shall receive a pro-rata vacation allowance. Fellows must take vacation time during the annual appointment period. The University will not provide pay in lieu of time off.
Time off without loss of pay or stipend for all University holidays observed during the appointment period. If operational exigency requires that time off cannot be granted during the holiday, an equivalent amount of time off should be provided during another period of time.
Time off without loss of pay or stipend during the University’s Season Days, typically the four (4) work days between the days observed s the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. If operational exigency requires that time off cannot be granted during the season day period, an equivalent amount of time off should be provided during another period of time.
Up to three weeks per year of paid sick leave, if unable to fulfill responsibilities because of personal sickness, childbirth, or injury. The Fellow may also use the three weeks of paid leave to care for a family member due to personal sickness or injury. If the Fellow is ineligible for paid parental leave (less than six months’ service), the Fellow may also use paid sick leave to bond with his or her newly born, newly adopted or newly fostered child within one year of the child’s birth or arrival in the home.
Six weeks per event of paid maternity (childbirth) leave for birth mothers for physical recovery immediately following birth, provided that is consistent with the rules of the sponsor.
Up to six weeks per event of paid parental leave for birth mothers, non-birth parents, adoptive parents to bond with a newborn or newly adopted or newly fostered child, or for legal guardianship of a child. A Fellow will become eligible for paid parental leave following a six-month period of employment as a Research Fellow, starting at the date of the first appointment, provided that it is consistent with the rules of the sponsor. Parental leave is available for use within one year of the event, and may be taken at one time or intermittently, with advanced notice and departmental approval, consistent with the rules of the sponsor.

Up to six (6) weeks per year of paid extended leave, if fellows are unable to fulfill responsibilities because of a qualifying disability, e.g., serious illness or serious injury. A Fellow will become eligible for paid extended leave following a six-month period of employment as a Research Fellow, starting at the date of the first appointment. A Fellow returning from extended leave must remain at work for at least six months to renew the extended leave benefit. Paid extended leave may be utilized in combination with the annual vacation allowance (II.D.8.a.) and/or paid sick and paid maternity (childbirth) leaves (II.D.8.d.)

The following procedure must be followed for a Fellow to be eligible for Paid Extended Leave or Paid Maternity (childbirth) Leave:

The Fellow must report the qualifying illness/injury/childbirth to the University’s Work Connections program which provides confidential management of the event/condition while certifying eligibility to use paid extended leave. The Fellow is required to submit appropriate medical documentation to Work Connections. Work Connections will verify the qualifying medical disability, expected duration of absence and any work restrictions, and inform the hiring unit of the paid extended leave eligibility. Information about Work Connections and the authorization forms are available at: Work Connections .

Note: Appointing units must maintain records related to attendance and usage of vacation, sick leave, paid extended leave, paid maternity (childbirth) leave allocations described in section D. 8.a., d., g., and e. above. No attendance or absence records are maintained for Research Fellows by the Payroll Office or other central units. University costs associated with vacation, sick, paid extended leaves, paid maternity (childbirth) leave, and paid parental leave will be assigned to the account from which the Fellow’s salary is paid provided it is consistent with the rules of the sponsor and other external regulations If the account is insufficient to cover the full cost of benefits, the unit must notify the appropriate fund area of Financial Operations and identify another suitable account to which the benefit costs can be charged.

Salaried Fellows who meet the eligibility requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) are eligible under the FMLA to be absent from work without pay for up to twelve weeks in their FMLA benefit year for a qualifying event, with continuation of University contributions to insured benefit coverage during the period. Benefits under the FMLA will be administered concurrently with benefits from paid extended leave (8.g.) and paid maternity (childbirth) leave.

Unpaid Leave of Absence

Research Fellows may be eligible for up to two (2) weeks of unpaid leave depending upon the circumstances. Appointing units should consult with Academic Human Resources prior to granting an unpaid leave of absence for a Research Fellow.

Withholding of Taxes and Reporting of Income

Federal and State income taxes and FICA taxes will be withheld and a Form W-2 filed with the IRS for Research Fellows as described in section II. A. (5.) above.
Exception: No Federal, State or FICA taxes will be withheld from payments issued to Fellows who are “scholar trainees” (as described in section II. A. 6.) because such payments are not considered “wages.” It is, however, “income” to the Fellow and may be taxable under Federal and State law.
Because a Form W-2 will not be issued, fellows may contact the Payroll Office to request a “fellowship letter” that will state the amount of fellowship received. The Fellow may use this letter as documentation when filing annual tax returns.

Given the variety of existing post doctoral programs, there are no uniform search or selection procedures that hiring units must follow prior to appointing an individual in a Research Fellow position. However, hiring units must observe University policies on non-discrimination and make good faith efforts to develop broad and inclusive selection pools when undertaking searches. When a hiring unit wants to move a Research Fellow to a regular faculty or staff appointment, it should follow the customary recruitment policies and procedures described in SPG 201.22 Recruitment and Employment Process (Regular).

Procedures: UHR Procedure for SPG 201.19

This SPG was updated on August 10, 2022 to include a new section (II.E.) on unpaid leave of absence. Other changes include Section II.A.2.: postdoctoral training may not exceed five years at the University ; Section II.C.2.: funding and benefits must be provided for the entire duration of the appointment ; Section II.C.3.: space must be provided if applicable .

Health researcher grabbing glass beaker in lab.

Taylor Berrier, Brooke Bullard and Rachel Hantman are 2024 recipients of the National Institutes of Health F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Awards . As Ph.D. students in communication sciences & disorders, biomedical sciences and clinical-community psychology, respectively, the awardees will receive mentorship and funding for the remainder of their doctoral programs.

Why it matters

The National Institutes of Health F31 Awards grant a $28,224 yearly stipend and can cover 60 percent of tuition costs for up to five years. These fellowships support doctoral students conducting biomedical, behavioral and clinical research by providing funding, training and mentorship. As NIH F31 fellows, recipients conduct cutting-edge medical research projects that have broad impacts in the healthcare field.

Who they are

Taylor Berrier researches in associate professor Suzanne Adlof’s lab at the Arnold School of Public Health. The NIH F31 fellowship will allow her to research the emotion regulation of children with developmental language disorder, comparing the results to those from children with typical development. Her project will study the differences between children’s self-report, behavior and heart rate variability during both a linguistically challenging and a domain-general task. After completing her Ph.D. program, Berrier hopes to be a professor. She plans to study risk and resilience factors for mental health problems in children with language and literacy disorders and train the next generation of speech-language pathologists.

Brooke Bullard is currently researching in professor Angela Murphy’s lab at the USC School of Medicine Columbia. With funding from the NIH, she will research the health benefits of dietary panaxynol, a compound found in American ginseng, on gut resilience in murine models of Ulcerative colitis. This project will study panaxynol-associated changes to immune, microbial, and metabolite profiles, and Bullard aims to develop this compound into a safe and effective treatment for colitis. She aspires to be a professor so that she can help future students pursue their academic goals.

Two BCSSW students awarded doctoral fellowships

From left to right: Doctoral students Charles Currie and Sophia Eisenberg

Charles Currie, Ph.D.’25, and Sophia Eisenberg, Ph.D.’27, have received $5,000 fellowships from the Boston College School of Social Work to honor their past achievements and support their future research.

Currie won the Elaine Pinderhughes Fellowship, which is awarded annually to an outstanding Black doctoral student, while Eisenberg won the Carolyn B. Thomas Fellowship, which is given every year to a doctoral student whose scholarship focuses on children and families.

Currie plans to use the funding from his fellowship to support his dissertation, with a particular focus on hiring research assistants and purchasing statistical software to aid his study.

He says his research project will shed light on what life is like for young people in Sierra Leone who have spent time in residential care before leaving and transitioning into independent adulthood.

The study, he says, would mark the first time that any scholar has explored the well-being of so-called “care leavers” in the West African country. And his findings, he adds, could serve as a jumping off point to develop metrics to determine what young people in residential care need to succeed on their own.

“The hope is that this would be a groundbreaking study of care leavers in Sierra Leone,” says Currie, whose fellowship is named in honor of Elaine Pinderhughes , a Professor Emerita who chaired BCSSW’s clinical program. “Hopefully it will lead to more replicable models for preparing young people to leave care.”

His research will build on his three-year stint at The Raining Season , a nonprofit that strives to provide hopeful futures for vulnerable children in Sierra Leone. From 2017 to 2020, Currie developed a program that prepared youth living in a residential care home at the nonprofit to reach their potential.

A few of the young people in the program went on to learn a trade, he says, while many others enrolled in college. One young woman is now in her final year of a bachelor of social work program in the capital city of Sierra Leone.

Currie hopes that some of the youth who participated in the program will be able to contribute to his study, particularly the student studying social work.

“It would be a dream to add a participatory element to my dissertation project and to have her and a few others contribute to the questions that are being asked or to even help analyze the data,” says Currie, who will begin his fourth and final year in the doctoral program this fall. “Ultimately,” he adds, “my aim is to serve those young people and the many others like them around the world in whatever ways I can.”

Eisenberg, a rising second-year doctoral student, is currently working with BCSSW Professor Catherine Taylor , a public health researcher who studies ways to prevent child abuse. In particular, Eisenberg is analyzing quantitative data for a randomized controlled trial focused on implementing parenting interventions to prevent the maltreatment of children.

While her precise plans to use her fellowship money are to be determined, she knows that she wants to continue studying the health and well-being of kids and families. She is particularly interested in working to reduce the rates of violence among youth with disabilities, who are three to four times more likely to experience violence and neglect than other children.

“I really want to look at how parenting buffers the association between community violence, exposure to violence, and neurocognitive outcomes in early childhood,” says Eisenberg, whose fellowship was established in 1989 by Carolyn B. Thomas, a longtime BCSSW professor who chaired the doctoral program.

Eisenberg cultivated her interest in this area of study while working at a public charter school on the South Side of Chicago. As a special education teacher and case manager from 2017 to 2021, Eisenberg designed reading courses, managed a caseload of 30 students a year with Individualized Education Plans, and got a close look at how exposure to gun violence affected the mental health of her pupils.

She followed up her experience at the charter school by working for the Office of the Mayor of Chicago, where she evaluated three violence prevention programs within the city’s Department of Family Support Services. It was then, while she was enrolled in the M.S.W. program at the University of Chicago, that she applied to BCSSW’s doctoral program.

“The violence prevention work I did in Chicago was very much ingrained in public health, and I liked how much public health focus there was among the professors at BCSSW,” says Eisenberg. “Through my work in Chicago, I also realized that I wanted my research to focus more on early childhood even though I had more experience in older adolescents and young adults.”

Both Currie and Eisenberg say that they want to become tenure-track professors, working to train the next generation of social workers to solve some of the world’s most pressing social problems.

Their fellowships, they say, bring them one step closer to achieving their career goals.

“This award is a catalyst for my development as well as for improving the well-being of folks who will be served by my work,” says Currie.

As Eisenberg puts it: “This fellowship solidifies my commitment to working with children and families long term. I think it’s easier to focus solely on children or families, but I hope to continue to look at them in tandem along with other ecological factors that affect health and well-being.”

Research Fellow resume examples for 2024

A research fellow resume should highlight skills in data analysis, cell culture, immunology, and chemistry. These skills are valuable in roles that involve research, data analysis, or program optimization. According to Dr. Alexandra Ormond Ph.D. , Associate Professor of Chemistry at Meredith College, "When I help students revise their resumes, I have them focus on transferable skills that they gained through their experiences. It may not necessarily be what students do that is important to companies, but their learned experience that students can take and apply in their new job."

Professional research fellow resume example

Resume tips to land the job:.

If you're choosing between a resume objective or work experience and you want to fit your resume on one page, always choose work experience. However, it's ok for senior level research fellow resumes to be two full pages long.
Recruiters and hiring managers suggest short, succinct bullet points, instead of long, wordy paragraphs. Make it easy for recruiters to understand your key accomplishments, in 30 seconds.
As a rule of thumb, lead each bullet point with a verb such "Grew", "Increased", or "Developed".

Research Fellow resume format and sections

1. add contact information to your research fellow resume.

Research Fellow Resume Contact Information Example # 1

Hank Rutherford Hill

St. Arlen, Texas | 333-111-2222 | [email protected]

2. Add relevant education to your research fellow resume

Your resume's education section should include:

The name of your school
The date you graduated ( Month, Year or Year are both appropriate)
The name of your degree

If you graduated more than 15 years ago, you should consider dropping your graduation date to avoid age discrimination.

Optional subsections for your education section include:

Academic awards (Dean's List, Latin honors, etc. )
GPA (if you're a recent graduate and your GPA was 3.5+)
Extra certifications
Academic projects (thesis, dissertation, etc. )

Other tips to consider when writing your education section include:

If you're a recent graduate, you might opt to place your education section above your experience section
The more work experience you get, the shorter your education section should be
List your education in reverse chronological order, with your most recent and high-ranking degrees first
If you haven't graduated yet, you can include "Expected graduation date" to the entry for that school

3. Next, create a research fellow skills section on your resume

Your resume's skills section should include the most important keywords from the job description, as long as you actually have those skills. If you haven't started your job search yet, you can look over resumes to get an idea of what skills are the most important.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when writing your resume's skills section:

Include 6-12 skills, in bullet point form
List mostly hard skills ; soft skills are hard to test
Emphasize the skills that are most important for the job

Hard skills are generally more important to hiring managers because they relate to on-the-job knowledge and specific experience with a certain technology or process.

Soft skills are also valuable, as they're highly transferable and make you a great person to work alongside, but they're impossible to prove on a resume.

4. List your research fellow experience

The most important part of any resume for a research fellow is the experience section. Recruiters and hiring managers expect to see your experience listed in reverse chronological order, meaning that you should begin with your most recent experience and then work backwards.

Don't just list your job duties below each job entry. Instead, make sure most of your bullet points discuss impressive achievements from your past positions. Whenever you can, use numbers to contextualize your accomplishments for the hiring manager reading your resume.

It's okay if you can't include exact percentages or dollar figures. There's a big difference even between saying "Managed a team of research fellows" and "Managed a team of 6 research fellows over a 9-month project. "

Most importantly, make sure that the experience you include is relevant to the job you're applying for. Use the job description to ensure that each bullet point on your resume is appropriate and helpful.

5. Highlight research fellow certifications on your resume

Specific research fellow certifications can be a powerful tool to show employers you've developed the appropriate skills.

If you have any of these certifications, make sure to put them on your research fellow resume:

Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP)
Clinical Research Assistant
Professional Researcher Certification (PRC)

6. Finally, add an research fellow resume summary or objective statement

A resume summary statement consists of 1-3 sentences at the top of your research fellow resume that quickly summarizes who you are and what you have to offer. The summary statement should include your job title, years of experience (if it's 3+), and an impressive accomplishment, if you have space for it.

Remember to emphasize skills and experiences that feature in the job description.
