I'm in a different field but I basically used the resume format that I used in the US. The only main difference was that I had to explain (very briefly) what some of the acronyms I was working with meant because my field was very specific to the US (I was helping international students get necessary visa documents to come study in the US, so the system and knowledge base was completely different to that of Australia). I also added email addresses of my references instead of just telephone numbers.
My partner is a Lecturer and he also used the same CV that he had used in the US. The content is more important than the template
