Academic CV Templates
Academic hiring puts qualifications, research and teaching first. These templates lead with education, use margin dates so timelines are easy to follow, and use serif typefaces associated with scholarly work.
An academic CV can run longer than a standard resume because it includes publications, grants and talks. Add those as additional sections in your content, and use the order controls in the Studio to place them where they matter most.

Questions
Is an academic CV different from a resume?
Yes. A resume is a short summary for a specific job. An academic CV is a fuller record of your academic career and can be several pages.
Which font works best?
A serif such as PT Serif, Garamond or Baskerville gives a scholarly feel and reads well in print.
