Scholar resume template

It is designed for academia and law: faculty and postdoc applications, PhD and fellowship programs, research institutes, law firms and clerkships, plus policy, publishing and cultural institutions. Where a photo is usual, as in Germany or Turkey, Scholar centers one above your name; elsewhere, leave it out.

Everything at the top is centered: the optional round photo, your name, the italic headline and a single contact line, then the double rule. Sections stack in one column. Job titles and degrees are bold, institutions and employers italic, and dates sit on the right. Skills are written as plain text.

• Centered header closed by a classic double rule
• Small-caps name and section headings in a serif face
• Italic institutions and an optional centered photo

Small caps and italics are only typography: applicant tracking systems (ATS), which universities and large employers use too, still read ordinary words such as Education and Experience. In a single column, an academic CV of several pages parses as easily as a short resume, and a photo is simply skipped.

• For academic posts, move Education to the top and add Publications as a custom list section, one citation per line.
• For legal roles, list bar admissions under Certifications so the admitting body and date appear with each.
