Academic is a restrained serif resume for teaching, research, and academic roles. Left-aligned small-caps headings and hairline rules give it a scholarly, print-classic feel without sacrificing a clean single-column structure.

Fill it in directly in the builder, reorder sections so education and certifications lead if that suits your field, and download a selectable-text PDF that an applicant tracking system reads top to bottom.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a good resume template for teachers and educators?
