Sable template
Sable: a serif timeline CV for researchers and lecturers
Serif type in warm brown with your positions on a timeline, then education, publications, grants and awards; it runs to as many pages as your record needs.
What this layout looks like
- Layout: Timeline · serif · brown.
- Timeline: people see it as designed, but some applicant tracking systems read columns out of order, so the app labels it “Design · limited ATS”.
- Part of Premium.
- Download as PDF or Word, free on every plan.
- No photo slot, which suits most US and UK applications.
Who it is for
For researchers, lecturers and long careers in one field, where the record is long and every entry counts.
A long academic record, readable
- Use one citation style and list publications newest first.
- Separate grants from awards and give the funder and year.
- Keep teaching and supervision as their own section.

Questions about this template
Is a two-column resume bad for applicant tracking systems?
Some tracking systems read columns out of order, which is why the app labels this layout “Design · limited ATS”. For a resume a person reads first (a referral, an email, a printout) it is fine; for online applications, switch to a one-column template. Your content stays the same.
Can Sable run to several pages?
Yes. Like the Academic CV, it is built to run past one page, and Preview shows every page of the real PDF.
Should I use Sable or the Academic CV?
The Academic CV is one column and safer for online portals; Sable suits a CV you send directly or bring to an interview.
