An academic CV is the type of resume used when making an academic application. Similar to other types of resumes, academic CVs are often tailored for the job one applies for. However, unlike other types of CVs, this particular type of CV is usually more detailed and longer. When writing an academic CV you are required to not only focus on the relevant experience but also be more concise. The key features of an academic CV include the publications you have written, description of research you have undertaken or been involved in and funding. Below is the format of an academic CV.
