Which sections should an academic CV include?

An academic CV is usually longer than a standard resume and uses more sections, ordered to show your research and teaching record. ResumeBuilder.ae has several sections designed for this.

A typical structure:

• Contact details and a professional title, such as "Postdoctoral Researcher, Marine Biology".
• Education: degrees, with thesis titles and supervisors if relevant.
• Academic Experience: teaching, lecturing, demonstrating and academic posts.
• Research: projects, methods and funding.
• Publications: in a consistent citation style.
• Awards: grants, fellowships and scholarships.
• Professional Memberships.
• Custom sections such as "Conference Presentations" or "Supervision".
• References, often expected for academic posts.

Order sections by what the position values most. A research-focused post may put Research and Publications right after Education; a teaching post may lead with Academic Experience.

Unlike industry resumes, academic CVs can run to several pages. Still, keep each entry concise and consistent.
