academic-cv-builder

The academic-cv-builder skill structures and formats curricula vitae for academic positions including faculty, research, postdoc, and lecturer roles. It addresses the difference between a results-focused industry resume and a comprehensive, scholarship-focused academic CV, where publications, grants, and teaching take center stage and length grows with career stage.

It provides the standard CV section order (contact, education, academic positions, publications, presentations, grants, teaching, mentoring, service, memberships, honors) with detailed formatting for each, including publication list options, grant entries with role and funding amounts, teaching experience with enrollment and course development, and mentoring records. It explains how to reorder and emphasize sections by role (tenure-track, postdoc, lecturer, research scientist) and notes discipline-specific conventions, such as author order and numbered publication lists in the sciences versus single-author works and books in the humanities.

It is most useful for academics and those transitioning into academia who need to assemble or update a CV tailored to a specific position type and discipline.
