What IS a CV, anyway? 

A curriculum vitae (CV) is a document that outlines your entire academic history. It is used most 

often to apply for faculty positions at colleges and universities, for research-intensive positions at 

national labs or research institutes, and for fellowships, grants, or awards. 

 

 

What categories should I include in my CV? 

At the very least, a CV should include contact information, education, research experience, 

teaching experience (if applicable), publications, presentations, and references. Other potential 

categories are listed below and may include awards, professional affiliations, community or 

university service, and others. 

 

 



What is the appropriate length for a CV? 

Length is less important in a CV than completeness. Your CV should include your complete 

academic history and is not typically limited by length, as is a resume.

 

 

Should I include job descriptions for every position listed on my CV? 

Not necessarily. Most academic search committees may focus solely on your institution and your 

advisor. Given this focus, listing your title, institution, advisor, location, and dates you attended or 

were employed there are required. Additionally, most faculty reviewers expect to see dates listed 

on the left-hand side of the page. 

 

Does order matter on a CV? 

Yes. It is critical for you to consider the position you are applying for and/or the audience you are 

writing for when compiling a CV. For example, if you are applying for a faculty position at a small 

college, you will want to list your teaching experience on the first page of your CV and your 

research experience and publications later in your document. The reverse would be true if you 

were applying to a research-intensive university or institute. 



 

I’m in the process of drafting my CV, but am not sure about format and style. 

It is a good idea to ask your advisor or a mentor in your field for a copy of his/her CV, as each 

discipline has its own standards for content, style, and format. 

 

Do you have any samples? 

The CV samples found on the OITE website will help you to draft and/or edit your own CV. While 

the names have been changed, these are CVs from actual trainees who found employment in their 

respective areas of interest. You may use these as a guide, but your words must be your own—do 

NOT copy these samples word for word!
