Choosing a academic template

An academic CV is longer than a resume and that is expected. Order sections by what the reader weighs most — usually research and publications, then teaching, grants and service — and keep citation style consistent throughout.

Questions

Are these academic resume templates free?

Yes. Every template is free, with unlimited PDF downloads and no watermark. You do not need an account.

Can I switch to another template after filling in my resume?

Yes. Your content is stored separately from the design, so switching template takes one click and never loses anything you typed.

Do these templates work for A4 and US Letter?

Every template supports both page sizes. Choose the size in the Design panel; we default to the one used where you live.
