LinkedIn Banner Templates
A LinkedIn banner is four times as wide as it is tall, and your profile photo covers the lower left of it. That leaves a band across the middle and right - which is exactly where these four put the wording.
For a job search, the useful banner says what you do and how to reach you, because a recruiter reading your profile has both in front of them at once. These are set up for that rather than for decoration.
Your profile photo covers the lower left of this banner, so the right half is the usable half - see social media image sizes. If you are mid-application, the banner and the CV should agree on the same job title.

Common questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
1584 by 396 pixels. These export at exactly that.
What should a LinkedIn banner say?
Your discipline in a few words, and a contact route. If you are open to work, that line belongs here as much as in your headline.
Where does the profile photo sit?
Over the lower left corner on desktop, and it covers more of the banner on mobile. Keep the left sixth clear - these layouts already avoid it.
