Hi! I have a question about listing research experiences. I have a lot of research experience from a number of different labs, of which 2 were long term and resulted in posters and presentations (1 of these I also completed a thesis project in). I currently have it broken up as follows:
1. Full time research assistant in lab A post-grad, ~3500 hrs
2. Research assistant and lab manager in lab B for work-study during undergrad, ~1000 hrs
3. Senior thesis research project in lab B & 2 national conference presentations (first author), ~500 hrs
4. Undergraduate research in labs C, D, E, ~1000 hrs total
5. 4 national conference posters and presentations from lab A (first, second, and fourth author)
6. 2 research grants during undergrad (1 was for senior thesis and is also mentioned in description of #3)
I divided out #s 1-4 based on the amount of time I put towards each research experience, and gave the senior thesis project its own slot partly because I couldn't fit the presentations into my main Posters and Presentations activity. But I'm wondering now if this is too many W&A slots dedicated to research-related activities. 1) Should I combine all the Posters and Presentations with their respective research activity? 2) Should I include the grants with the projects I used them for instead of giving them their own slot? Or is it okay to have so many research-related activities listed? For reference, I was on a research-focused career path until a couple years ago and have been working in a clinical setting since then, but I do think my research experience should be noted in the W&A section since I don't highlight it as much in the rest of my application.
