AI Enhancement Tips For This Template
💡 Content Enhancement
Use AI enhancement on your research abstract descriptions — converting dense academic language into clear, accessible summaries that non-specialist hiring committees can appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a resume and an academic CV?
A resume is typically 1-2 pages focused on industry experience. An academic CV is longer and includes publications, research, teaching, grants and conference presentations. This template is designed for academic CVs.
How should I list publications?
Use standard citation format (APA or MLA depending on your field). List most recent first. Include DOI links where available. Our template has a dedicated publications section formatted for this.
Can I use this template for industry research roles?
Yes, with modifications. For industry research roles, deprioritise teaching sections and emphasise research impact, patents and applied outcomes over pure academic output.
How many pages should an academic CV be?
As many as needed. Unlike industry resumes, academic CVs are not limited to 1-2 pages. Senior academics commonly have 5-10 page CVs. This template handles multiple pages cleanly.
