How do I describe my research position on my resume?

To describe a research position in your resume, first decide on which section you want to include it under. You may have a Work Experience section, but often for recent grads, it may be more appropriate to have an Academic Accomplishments or Research Experience section where your position would fit.

For your research position include information like your research project titles, mentor, lab or university, and the duration of your experience. Offer a one-line overview of the research followed by bullet points on specific job duties.
