Academic Resume Template

Why the Academic template works

The Academic template is the only layout in the library that intentionally does not try to fit on one page. Faculty applications, postdoc candidacies, and research roles demand a full CV with decades of publications, grants, conferences, supervised students, and teaching history. Publications render in formal citation format - author, title, journal, year - exactly what hiring committees expect. Use Academic when you are applying to universities, national labs, policy institutes, or any role where scholarly output is the primary credential.
