Academic Researcher CV Builder

Build a detailed academic CV with publications, grants, and teaching

Build a structured academic researcher CV covering education, positions, numbered publications, grants and funding, awards, teaching, and service, formatted in clean reverse-chronological order to copy or download.

How is an academic CV different from a resume?

An academic CV is comprehensive rather than condensed: it lists every publication, grant, and presentation across a full career, often running many pages. A resume is a one- or two-page summary tailored to a specific job.

A complete academic CV, properly ordered

An academic CV documents an entire scholarly record — degrees, appointments, publications, funding, teaching, and service — in strict reverse-chronological order. Assembling and formatting all of that by hand is tedious, so this builder turns structured inputs into a clean, consistent text CV ready to refine.

How it works

Each section maps to a labelled block with an underlined heading. Education and positions are entered as degree/role, institution, and year, and rendered newest-first with the year leading each line. Publications are pasted one per line, oldest-first, and the tool numbers them in descending order so your latest paper carries the highest index — the running-total convention common on research CVs. Grants combine a title, funder or amount, and year on a single line. Awards, teaching, and service are free-text lists, each item rendered as a bullet. Empty sections are omitted so the output stays tight.

Tips and example

Keep publication entries in a consistent citation style (authors, title, venue, year) before pasting, since the tool preserves your formatting and only adds numbering. For positions and grants, use a year range like 2019–2022 to show duration. The result is plain text, which pastes cleanly into Word or LaTeX where you can apply your institution’s template — use it as the accurate skeleton, then style to taste.
