Questions about this template
Can an academic CV be longer than two pages?
Yes, and it usually is. This layout is built to run to as many pages as your record needs, and Preview shows exactly how many.
How do I add a Publications section?
Add a section (Publications is one of the presets) from the sections list or from under the page, then add each paper as an entry.
Should I use this for industry research jobs?
For most industry roles a shorter resume works better; you can keep one career profile and make both versions from it.
