A professional, highly configurable academic CV template built with Typst. We hope this template helps you create a standout academic CV. Good luck with your academic endeavors!

You can find the examples in examples/main.pdf.

• Clean & professional design — Organized layout suitable for various academic disciplines, with customizable sections for education, experience, publications, awards, and more
• Powered by Typst — Faster compilation, simpler syntax, and easier setup than LaTeX; works locally or in the Typst online editor with no package installation
• Friendly, composable API — Modular primitives and templates (r2c2-entry-list, publication-entry-list, etc.) that can be mixed and reused with minimal boilerplate
• Refined spacing & typography — Fine-tuned vertical spacing (automatically adjusts based on font size) for headings, paragraphs, lists, and entries to maintain consistent visual rhythm across sections
• Elegant link styling — Links use a subtle light-gray underline instead of colored text, keeping the focus on content while remaining identifiable; an optional lightweight SVG link icon is available for compact link indicators
• Fully configurable — All settings (fonts, margins, heading styles, list spacing, link appearance) are exposed as named parameters with sensible defaults

Quick Start

Use the following CLI command to initialize a new project from this template:

typst init @preview/pro-academic-cv

Or search for pro-academic-cv on Typst Universe to use it directly in the online editor.

The top-level show rule that configures the entire document. All parameters have sensible defaults and can be overridden individually.

link-icon — Inline Link Icon

Renders an SVG link icon inline with text. Useful for compact link indicators in entry headers.

#link("https://example.com")[#link-icon()]
#link("https://example.com")[#link-icon(color: blue, height: 1em, baseline: 15%)]

Section Heading Notes

Section headings support an inline note via the (note: ...) syntax:

== Patents~&~Publications (note:C=Conference, J=Journal, P=Patent)

This renders the main title in small caps on the left and the note text in lighter weight on the right.

Primitives

Low-level building blocks used directly or composed into templates.

row2col — Two-Column Row

A single row with left-aligned and right-aligned content.

#row2col([Left content], [Right content])

single-line-entry — Single-Line Entry

A labeled entry with a bold label, inline value, and right-aligned content. Use for memberships, certifications, and simple dated items.

#single-line-entry("Programming Languages:", [Python, Rust, Go], [])
#single-line-entry([Certification A], [], [Month Year])

multi-line-list — Multi-Line List

Renders items as a bullet or numbered list.

#multi-line-list(
  [Item 1],
  [Item 2],
)
#multi-line-list(list-type: "enum", [First], [Second])

multi-line-text — Multi-Line Text

Renders content items separated by line breaks (no bullets).

#multi-line-text(
  [Line 1],
  [Line 2],
)

r2c2-entry-header — Two-by-Two Entry Header

A two-row, two-column header block. Top-left is bold, others are italic/smaller.

#r2c2-entry-header(
  top-left: [Company Name],
  top-right: [2020 - 2024],
  bottom-left: [Software Engineer],
  bottom-right: [San Francisco, CA],
)

r2c2-entry — Entry with List Items

Combines an r2c2-entry-header with a bullet (or numbered) list of detail items underneath.

#r2c2-entry(
  entry-header-args: (
    top-left: [Google Research],
    top-right: [2022 - Present],
    bottom-left: [Research Scientist],
    bottom-right: [Mountain View, CA],
  ),
  list-items: (
    [Developed a novel approach to ...],
    [Published 3 papers in top venues],
  ),
)

personal-info — Personal Info Block

A multi-line text block for a single person’s contact information.

#personal-info(
  [Prof. Jane Smith],   // name
  [Associate Professor], // title
  [MIT CSAIL],           // org
  [jane\@mit.edu],      // email
  [+1-555-0100],        // phone
  [Thesis Advisor],     // note
)

Templates

Higher-level components that compose primitives into repeatable section patterns.

r2c2-entry-list — Entry List

Renders a vertical stack of r2c2-entry items. Use for experience, education, projects, awards, leadership, and volunteer sections.

#r2c2-entry-list(
  (
    entry-header-args: (:),
    list-items: (:),
  ),
  (
    entry-header-args: (:),
    list-items: (:),
  ),
)

publication-entry-list — Publication List

Auto-numbered publication list grouped by category prefix (e.g., C for Conference, J for Journal).

#publication-entry-list(
  (
    (category: "C", value: [Author et al. (2024). *Title*. In _Proc. ..._.]),
    (category: "C", value: [Author et al. (2023). *Title*. In _Proc. ..._.]),
    (category: "J", value: [Author et al. (2023). *Title*. _Journal_, ...]),
    (category: "P", value: [Inventor et al. (2023). *Patent Title*. ...]),
  ),
)

personal-info-list — Personal Info List

Renders a list of personal-info blocks. Use for reference sections.

#personal-info-list(
  (
    (name: [Prof. Jane Smith], title: [Associate Professor], org: [MIT], email: [jane\@mit.edu], phone: [+1-555-0100], note: [Thesis Advisor]),
    (name: [Dr. John Doe], title: [Senior Engineer], org: [Google], email: [john\@google.com], phone: [+1-555-0200], note: [Manager]),
  ),
)
