How to Write a Best Professional Academic CV - Careerzooom

The biggest difference between the format of an academic CV and a business CV is the length. There is no need to limit yourself to two pages when Writing an Academic CV, and the document will become longer and longer as your career progresses.

Academic CVs also do not include bullet points expanding on the duties of each position. This format makes it easier for the person reviewing your CV to gauge your productivity over time.

Current Position:

Where you are currently employed? Include your title, the institution, and office/contact information.

Education:

This section is essential and is always found near the top. List your degrees in reverse chronological order including the department, the institution, and the year of completion.

Academic Employment:

Immediately after the following education, list your professional appointments and academic employment history. Obviously, if you are a recent graduate you may not have previous academic employment so you can skip this section.

Publications:

This is the bulk of your CV. The subheadings in this section and their order will vary based on your field. In general, you can divide this section into books, edited volumes, peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, book reviews, web-based publications, and other publications (including some non-academic publications of note).

Awards and Honors:

You may choose to put this section above publications if it really stands out Include the name of the award, granting organization/institution, monetary amount, and year.

Grants and Fellowships:

In some fields, these are different from awards. If that is the case in your field, include the name of the fellowship, funding the organization, monetary amount, and year span.

Research Experience:

If you have been a research assistant, this is the place to mention it. You can also include information on your fieldwork here.

Service:

This section includes things like society membership, journal manuscript review work, and roles in professional organizations. You should also include departmental/university service, such as search committee membership and other committee work.
