Writing Academic Resume: Tips & Templates

[maurom]

Hi people,

I'm dealing with the inglorious task of writing my resume in order to apply to an academic position (the lowest one: PhD student). I'm working now as research fellow (yea, it's a good career move ).
Now the question: in the head of my CV, where I should put my private details, should I put also my work details (office number, office address, work email, work telephone number?). There is some ethics involved? I mean: working with companies, it's not a good thing having your work address in your personal details (they usually think: "are you job seeking while working, huh? stealing time and money to your company?"). But in academic word (as far I've understood) it's not like that (maybe because no money to steal? :rofl:) anyhow, what your opinion on that?
Also, are you aware of any *good* CV template for academic purposes?

cheers,
Mauro

At the top of your CV, you need to provide sufficient information to be contacted by- 'personal' or 'work' email address is (AFAIK) immaterial. Ditto phone number and mailing address.

Now, you need to be comfortable with whatever info you provide: for example, let's say someone from the search committee calls you at work. Can you speak freely on the phone?

I understand the importance of a well-written and professional resume when applying for academic positions. In terms of including your work details in the header of your CV, it is generally acceptable to include your office address, email, and phone number. However, it is not necessary to include your office number unless it is specifically requested by the employer. In terms of ethics, it is always best to be transparent and honest about your current employment and to make sure to not use company time or resources for job seeking activities. In the academic world, it is not uncommon for individuals to hold multiple positions and for job searching to overlap with current employment. As long as you are open and honest about your intentions, there should not be any issues.

In terms of a CV template for academic purposes, there are many available online. I would recommend looking at templates from reputable sources such as universities or academic organizations. It is important to choose a template that is clean, organized, and easy to read. Make sure to also tailor your CV to the specific position you are applying for, highlighting relevant skills and experiences. Good luck with your application!
