Academic resume template
A formal curriculum vitae in classic serif type.
Academic is built like a proper CV: a centered serif header with a “Curriculum Vitae” subtitle, education placed before experience, and every entry set in a two-column date grid so appointments read chronologically at a glance. Pure black ink, uppercase section headers with hairline rules, and generous one-inch margins give it the gravity that hiring committees and academic panels expect.

Will Academic pass applicant tracking systems?
Single-column flow with standard headings parses cleanly; the date-grid uses real text in a simple two-column layout. Academic CVs often run long — every page keeps the same clean structure.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Academic template
Is Academic a resume or a CV?
It is structured as a curriculum vitae: education leads, appointments carry date columns, and sections like Research & Projects and Certifications & Awards are built in — ideal for academic applications.
Can it handle a multi-page CV?
Yes. The disciplined grid and consistent headers scale naturally across pages, which is exactly what academic CVs need.
Why is education listed first?
Academic hiring evaluates credentials before roles. Academic leads with your degrees and appointments so committees see qualifications immediately.
