Create My Research Assistant CV

An academic CV is more detailed than a job CV: education, publications, projects, presentations and scores are listed in an orderly way. As a research assistant candidate, show every document and score the vacancy asks for.

Match the vacancy requirements

Academic vacancies often require test scores, language results or degree classifications. Include them clearly with the year.

Format publications consistently

List articles, conference papers and posters in one citation style, newest first. You can group peer-reviewed work separately.

Make your research interests clear

Your thesis topic, methods and projects show which team you would fit.

What Every Research Assistant CV Should Include

  • Degrees and grades
  • Test and language scores
  • Publications, papers and projects
  • Teaching and lab experience

Example Work Experience Lines

Write your experience in the same concrete, measurable way:

  • "Presented a paper based on my master's thesis at a national conference."
  • "Assisted 80 students in statistics tutorials for three semesters."
