Previously, I've written about the differences between CVs and resumes, and shared my own CV on this blog. However, as a senior academic, my format may not be ideal for early-career researchers.
Recently, I collaborated with one of my former PhD students to refine her curriculum vitae for postdoctoral applications. She created a format that effectively highlights her qualifications while demonstrating alignment with potential supervisors' research directions. I'm sharing this template below as a resource for prospective postdoc candidates.
Please you can find here:
Important advice: Always tailor your research plans to align with those of the principal investigator issuing the call for which you are writing your resume. Failing to do this significantly undermines your application's chances of success.
While your past achievements matter—they demonstrate your capability to complete projects—what's truly critical is how your future goals complement mine. Unless you've accomplished truly exceptional work (landmark publications or breakthroughs), focus more on articulating how your skills and interests will contribute to advancing our shared research objectives.

- A pdf template
- A LaTeX file (hyperlinks not working)
- An HTML file that can be eventually imported and edited in a word processor
The formatting can be improved since I did not dedicate all the time it needed. Obviously each one cane personalize some parts according to their own personality and attitude. Something can be missing. However, it contains what I expect it should be there.
