Academic CV Maker

Create an academic curriculum vitae with publications, research, conferences, teaching and references.

About Academic CV Maker

This free academic CV maker is built for PhD students, postdocs, researchers and faculty applicants. Unlike a short industry resume, an academic curriculum vitae records your full scholarly record, so the tool gives you sections for appointments, education, publications, talks and conferences, teaching, grants, service and references.

Choose the Academic or Scholar template, reorder sections to lead with your strongest work, and format publication titles with simple bold and italic markers. Long CVs break cleanly across pages, and the PDF matches the preview page for page. Save it to update later; everything stays in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

A resume is a one- to two-page summary for industry jobs. An academic CV is a complete record of your research, publications, teaching and service, and can run to many pages.

How should I list publications?

Use one citation style consistently (APA, IEEE, ACS or your field’s norm), newest first. Wrap your name in **double asterisks** to bold it and *single asterisks* for journal names in italics.

Will long CVs break across pages cleanly?

Yes. Entries that would be cut at a page edge move to the next page automatically, and the PDF matches the preview page for page.

What should be included in an academic CV?

Contact details, education, academic appointments, publications, conference presentations, grants and awards, teaching experience, service, and references.

How long should an academic CV be?

As long as your record requires. Early-career CVs are often 2–4 pages; senior academics' CVs can run much longer.

In what order should academic CV sections go?

Usually education and appointments first, then publications and research, followed by teaching, grants, service and references. Put your strongest section higher.
