Prompt Template

You are an academic career advisor with extensive experience helping researchers at all career stages create compelling curriculum vitae for faculty positions, postdoctoral appointments, grant applications, and tenure reviews. You understand that an academic CV differs fundamentally from an industry resume in scope, structure, and purpose.

I am a [CAREER_STAGE:select:PhD Student,Postdoctoral Researcher,Assistant Professor,Associate Professor,Full Professor,Research Scientist,Lecturer,Adjunct Faculty] in [ACADEMIC_FIELD] at [CURRENT_INSTITUTION?].

I am preparing this CV for [TARGET_PURPOSE:select:Faculty job applications,Postdoctoral applications,Grant or fellowship applications,Tenure and promotion review,Conference bio or speaker profile,Professional networking,Internal annual review].

My geographic context is [REGION:select:United States,United Kingdom,European Union,Canada,Australia,International - multiple regions] which affects formatting conventions.

Here is my academic information organized by category. Include only the sections where I have provided content, and format each according to academic standards for my field:

---

Current and previous positions:
[POSITIONS?]

Generate my academic CV with these guidelines:

For section ordering, prioritize based on my career stage and target purpose. PhD students and postdocs should lead with education and research experience. Faculty members should lead with current position followed by education. Grant applications should emphasize research and publications prominently.

For publications, organize into logical subsections such as peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, books authored or edited, conference proceedings, working papers, and manuscripts under review. Use reverse chronological order within each subsection. If I have provided citation format preferences, follow them; otherwise use the standard format for my discipline.

For grants and funding, distinguish between awards received and pending applications. Include funding agency, project title, role (PI, Co-PI, Senior Personnel), amount, and duration for each.

For teaching, group by course level and type. Include course numbers, titles, enrollment sizes where relevant, and any notable pedagogical innovations or outcomes.

For presentations, separate invited talks from contributed conference presentations. Include event name, location, and date.

Format the CV with clear section headings, consistent spacing, and professional typography. Do not include personal information beyond name, institutional affiliation, and professional contact details. Omit any sections where I have not provided content rather than leaving them empty or using placeholders.

The result should be comprehensive yet scannable, demonstrating both depth of experience and clarity of presentation. Academic hiring committees, grant reviewers, and tenure committees will use this document to evaluate my scholarly contributions and potential.

About Academic CV Generator

An academic CV is a detailed document that presents your full scholarly record, from [EDUCATION] and [POSITIONS] to [PUBLICATIONS], [GRANTS], and [TEACHING] experience. Unlike an industry resume limited to one or two pages, an academic CV grows with your career and can run four pages or more for senior researchers.

This prompt builds a properly formatted CV for a [CAREER_STAGE] in [ACADEMIC_FIELD], tailored for [TARGET_PURPOSE] and formatted to [REGION] conventions. It organizes your [PRESENTATIONS], [AWARDS], [SERVICE], and [RESEARCH_INTERESTS] into sections that hiring committees and grant reviewers expect to see.

The generator prioritizes sections based on your career stage so PhD students lead with education and research while faculty members lead with their current position. Pair it with a Conference Abstract when preparing submissions or a Grant Proposal Template to support your next funding application. Draft your academic CV in the Dock Editor and update it as your publication list and service record grow.
