# Academic Research CV

## Trigger

Use when the user is applying for faculty, research, or postdoc positions, or creating/updating a curriculum vitae.

Keywords: "academic CV", "research CV", "curriculum vitae", "faculty CV", "faculty position", "publications", "tenure-track", "postdoc CV", "professor resume", "academic job market", "grants section", "teaching portfolio", "ORCID", "publication list", "PhD CV", "researcher CV", "academic job application"

## Key Differences from Industry Resumes

- **Comprehensive**: include everything — length grows with career (grad student 2-4pp, senior faculty 15-30+pp)
- **Scholarship-focused**: publications and grants are the currency
- **No page limit**: completeness is expected, not brevity
- **Field conventions matter**: author order, citation style, section emphasis vary by discipline

## Section Order (adjust by position type)

**Research-focused**: Contact → Education → Publications → Grants → Research → Teaching → Service

**Teaching-focused**: Contact → Education → Teaching → Course Development → Publications → Service

**Postdoc**: Contact → Education → Publications → Research → Skills → Presentations

## Process

### Step 1: Contact
Name with credentials (Ph.D.), department, institution, email, website, ORCID.

### Step 2: Education
Reverse chronological. Include: degree, field, institution, year, dissertation title, advisor, committee (for PhD).

### Step 3: Publications (most critical for research positions)

- **Bold your name** in author lists
- Number entries (reverse chronological in sciences)
- Include DOIs
- Mark student co-authors with asterisk*
- Separate: peer-reviewed articles, books/chapters, conference proceedings, under review, in preparation

Field notes:
- Sciences: first author and last/senior author positions matter, impact factors sometimes relevant
- Humanities: single-author work valued most, books are crucial
- Social sciences: mix of solo and collaborative, funded research important

### Step 4: Grants & Funding
Format: Agency + mechanism (PI/Co-PI) | "Title" | Dates | Amount (total + your share)

Separate: Awarded, Pending, and optionally Not Funded.

### Step 5: Teaching
Course number + title, role (instructor/TA/guest), institution, dates, enrollment size, course development notes.

### Step 6: Service, Mentoring, Presentations

- **Service**: editorial boards, grant panels, committees (department/university/profession)
- **Mentoring**: students and postdocs with current positions (shows pipeline success)
- **Presentations**: invited talks separate from conference presentations
