Below you will find examples of Curriculum Vitae for use in Academic positions. The Curriculum Vitae is commonly known as a CV for short.
The CV is commonly used internationally in place of a resume, but for the purposes of these examples on this site, the CV's will focus on structure and content for Academic Professionals.
The most common question that is asked about the curriculum vitae is how is a CV different from a resume?
The most noticeable difference between most CV's and most resumes is the length. Entry level resumes are usually limited to a page. CV's, however, often run to three or more pages. (Remember, however, that length is not the determinant of a successful CV). You should try to present all the relevant information that you possibly can, but you should also try to present it in as concise a manner as possible. A more subtle but equally important distinction is that whereas the goal of a resume is to construct a professional identity, the goal of a CV is quite specifically to construct a scholarly identity. Thus, your CV will need to reflect very specifically your abilities as a teacher, researcher, and publishing scholar within your discipline.
