The complete CV format for academics, researchers, and PhD candidates.
The Academic Scholar template is the only format on our platform specifically designed for the academic CV rather than the commercial resume. Academia operates by different rules: a comprehensive CV can run 5–10 pages and must include sections for publications, conference presentations, research grants, teaching experience, academic appointments, and professional affiliations that simply do not exist on a standard resume. The Academic Scholar template provides all of these sections in a clean, institutional layout that mirrors the expectations of universities, research institutes, funding bodies, and academic journals worldwide. The typography is formal and print-optimised, as academic CVs are still frequently reviewed in physical form. Whether you are applying for a PhD programme, a post-doctoral position, a faculty role, or a research grant, this template provides the structure that academic selection committees expect.
