What an academic CV needs

Room to run

An academic CV grows with your career and often runs to several pages. These templates keep headings and dates consistent from the first page to the last.

Easy to scan

Committees look for publications, funding and teaching first. Chapter gives dates a column of their own; Thesis sets headings in a wide margin so sections stand apart.

One citation style

Cite publications in the style of your field and use it for every entry. See the professor CV example for an order of sections that committees expect.

Questions

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

A resume is a one or two page summary chosen for one job. An academic CV is a complete record of your scholarly work, and it grows through your career.

How long should an academic CV be?

As long as your record. A few pages is normal early in a career, and senior scholars' CVs often run much longer.

Can I use an academic template for an industry job?

Shorten the content first: industry employers expect a resume of one or two pages. A professional or simple template suits that version better.
