Academic Curriculum Vitae Template (possibly in LaTeX)
There are several packages/classes in LaTeX available and you can find a list of many on CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network). There is no preferred package since CVs can be constructed in many ways, some of which may be specific to fields or academic cultures. The moderncv class is quite popular and may be a good starting point but you need to figure out if any one format suits your particular needs best.
