What this template is for
Free Photoshop Resume Template 31 is a minimalist academic resume framed by a thin black border and topped with a pale aqua name banner. Its balanced two-column page separates contact, education, and research from the personal description and teaching experience. The sober, text-focused format fits doctoral candidates, research assistants, graduate teaching fellows, and early-career STEM applicants who need space for academic work without decorative clutter.
Design details
- A narrow black keyline runs around the page, giving the white canvas a formal document-like finish.
- The centered aqua rectangle overlaps the top border and presents the name in widely spaced black capitals.
- Two equal columns use bold uppercase headings, compact sans serif text, and generous open space.
- A short dashed divider marks the transition from the introductory row to the detailed experience below.
- Research and teaching achievements use fine vertical rules with short horizontal ticks instead of ordinary bullet dots.
How to use it
- Download the ZIP file and open the editable PSD in Photoshop.
- Replace the name, contact details, and description, keeping the opening profile to one compact paragraph.
- Use the left column for education and research, and the right for teaching, laboratory, or mentoring experience.
- Rewrite each achievement as a concise action with scope or evidence, then check that wrapped lines remain comfortably inside the border.
- Keep the restrained aqua accent or choose one institutional color, proofread dates carefully, and export a print-ready PDF.
