I'm on an academic job with a possible end date a few months from now. So, in case I don't find a suitable job, I will extend my contract. I wonder if it is common or expected to mention that end date in the "work experience" section? Or by doing that I'd look like I desperately search for a job as a negative point?

So, it's not confirmed. Actually it never is, until you clear the exit interview and complete the leaving formalities. Till then, it's a plan, and plans change! In case you put a date for whatever reason under the Sun the dates change, it'll appear very professional of you to mention that date in first place.
No need to put any information which is not required and might be changed. Just mention your last job tenure to "till date" in your CV / Resume / Application, and we're good.
