I am a 2nd year phd student and am interested in doing a post-doc following completion of my phd. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a good template for a CV and are the any particular things I should include as my research area is science?

Hi Kathleen, Microsoft Office have a few templates you can adjust and play around with to get ideas! I would include your publications as they are important and will definitely look good! I think they are included in a separate page to your CV. Your research skills (lab and other skills eg. fieldwork if applicable would also be important I think. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I think your supervisor, the research group you're part and what research you've done should be mentioned!

DO NOT USE MICROSOFT TEMPLATE!!!!!! They ll turn you down straight away. The university where u r doing ur PhD must have a career centre, they will advice you and help you for that

Hi Ralph, Just to let you know that is what I used for my CV although I did change the layout a bit I've had no problems and have even got a few offers!

What is important is that the information is presented in a way that is clear and easy to read with correct spelling and grammar.
