It is often recommended that commercial sector CVs should be only two pages long. This is not true for academic CVs. It is acceptable to submit a CV of around 4-5 pages, but no more. If your CV is longer than 5 pages then remove the oldest conference papers, publications and grant awards and concentrate on your most recent activity.
