As a PhD student I have been invited to give a guest lecture in an MSc in my university in another department.

Should I add this to my CV if I intend to apply for academic jobs? If so, what should this look like in my CV? In which section would it go?

    Here's a note on English grammar: One says "How should this look?" or "What should this look like?". "How" is an adverb and "what" is a pronoun that is the object of the preposition "like". Sometimes "How does this look?" has a connotation of "How good do this look?", and "What does this look like?" avoids the ambiguity. Commented Feb 1, 2016 at 19:01

I've seen a lot of CVs include guest lecturer. You would include it in the Teaching section of your CV. A quick google for "guest lecturer cv" will show you some examples.

Do note, this is generally different than an invited speaker though. A Guest Lecturer comes and teaches a class where as an Invited Speaker comes to give a talk or seminar or colloquium. If this is an invited talk then you'd still list it on your CV, but in the Invited Talks section.

    How would you differentiate between them? Invited speaker vs guest lecturer Commented Feb 1, 2016 at 14:53
