There is no page limit for academic CVs. Include all publications, grants, teaching, service, and professional activities.

List 3 to 5 of your most relevant positions on a Professor resume. Focus on roles that demonstrate progression and skills applicable to your target job. Older or unrelated positions can be summarized in a single line or omitted entirely if space is limited.

Portfolios are highly valued for Professor roles in creative, design, or technical fields. If your work is visual or project based, include a link to your portfolio in the resume header. Even if not required, a portfolio demonstrates initiative and gives hiring managers a deeper look at your capabilities.

For Professor candidates with less than 10 years of experience, one page is ideal. Senior professionals with extensive relevant experience can use two pages. The key is that every line adds value. Padding a resume with irrelevant content hurts more than it helps.
