Academic & Research Resume — Creative Template
Academic CVs follow conventions very different from industry formats. Publications, conference presentations, grants, teaching experience, and research methods are the primary currency — not corporate job titles or commercial metrics. The Creative layout makes a deliberate visual statement — the format you choose when the hiring manager is a creative director and your resume is itself an audition. Bold typography and strong visual hierarchy signal design sensibility.
Why the Creative layout works for academic & research roles
Not ATS-safe. Use only for direct outreach to creative professionals. Always pair with an ATS-safe version for online job board applications.
