Curricula Vitae
Academic CVs and résumés — the longest-running and most visited section of the site.
A curriculum vitae is a structured record of your academic and professional history: education, positions held, publications, teaching, grants and service. LaTeX suits the format well because a CV is mostly a long sequence of dated entries that must stay aligned and readable as it grows over a career, and because the same source can be re-typeset when a department or funder asks for a different ordering.
