Top the CV with your name and contact information. If you are currently still a student and are soon going to move, provide your permanent address instead of your temporary student address.
Divide your curriculum vitae into three sections: education, teaching and experience. Create a heading for each of these sections, then set out to populate them.
List the institutes at which you studied, from most recent to oldest, in the education section. Even if you did not earn a degree from an institution, you can still list it in this section, particularly if the institution is a highly prestigious one.
Provide a brief description of what you studied at each institution below the institution name. Focus on including the topics most relevant to the position you're applying for. For example, if you are applying to work in a genetics study, list the genetics-related topics you have previously studied.
Catalog and describe the science-related courses you've taught. List them separately in the teaching section, including a statement of where you taught each. Don’t provide too much information, as the CV reader likely won’t take the time to sift through it, but do give short listings of topics you covered in each course, or scientific methods on which you instructed your students.
List your specific research experiences in the experience section, including all major studies in which you have been a participant. Write a short sentence explaining the purpose of the study, placing these descriptions under the name of each study. Also list the capacity with which you were involved, allowing CV viewers to see if you took on a leadership role.
Seek the help of an adviser, asking him to proofread your CV. While you are applying for a position in science teaching or research, not grammar instruction, you should still aim to send a flawless curriculum vitae to ensure that you put your best foot forward.
Top your curriculum vitae with a cover letter. A CV should never be sent as a stand-alone document. Compose a respectful letter in which you clearly explain the purpose behind sending your CV to ensure that your document is directed to the proper person.
