Who the Research CV template is for
The Research CV template is built for researchers, PhD candidates and applicants for academic, teaching and fellowship positions. Academic CV format for researchers and scientists. Publications, grants, and conference sections prominent.
Why this layout works
Room for publications, research, teaching and conference sections that a one-page commercial CV simply cannot hold.
ATS performance
Research CV scores 88/100 in NextCV's ATS analyser — a strong result that balances visual character against machine readability.
Its 88/100 puts it second of the 3 academic templates, just behind Graduate Researcher at 90. Across the full 29-template library that is a mid-table score — deliberate, since this layout prioritises how it looks to a person.
Pricing
Research CV is a premium template, unlocked with a single one-time purchase of ₹19 (down from ₹149) — not a subscription. Once unlocked it stays available across every device you sign in on, and exports carry no watermark.
Tip for the Academic format
Keep one citation style throughout and list publications newest first. Reviewers scan for recency and venue before they read titles.
Export a fresh PDF for each application after tailoring the keywords — versions are cheap, and generic CVs score worse.
