What an academic CV is, and what it isn't
An academic CV is not a resume. There is no one-page rule. The audience, search committees, grant panels, tenure-review committees, expects a complete record: every paper, every grant, every course, every committee. A six-page CV is normal for a tenure-track professor; a twelve-page CV is normal for a senior full professor.
What matters is order and consistency. This template puts the sections in the order most US R1 search committees read them: appointments first (where do you work?), then education (credentials), then publications (the centerpiece of your case), then grants, awards, teaching, and service. Publications are numbered, the standard for fields where citation count and authorship order matter, and grants list dollar amounts plus your role.
CV vs resume vs biosketch
Use this CV template for: faculty job applications, grant applications (you'll often need both a CV and a 4-page biosketch), tenure and promotion files, annual review packets, and your departmental webpage. For an industry job, you want a LaTeX resume, not a CV. For NIH or NSF biosketches, the agency-specific format uses a 4-page subset of your CV, Underleaf generates that automatically from your full CV.
