Curriculum Vitae Guidelines

Curriculum Vitae Guidelines


IMPORTANT GENERAL GUIDELINES:
  • This format is required for all dossiers except new appointment and emeritus candidates.
  • The faculty member’s curriculum vitae should be signed and dated to certify that it is accurate and current.
  • The c.v. should present a portrait of the candidate’s accomplishments in as concise a manner as possible.

Templates of the following format are available in WORD.

To aid the review committees, the c.v. should include, in the order shown, the following information:

1. Personal Information

List the candidate's name, department (joint appointments should indicate percentage of each appointment), current rank, year of university appointment to current rank, educational background (including institutions, dates and degrees), and employment background (in reverse chronological order).

2. Research, Scholarly, & Creative Activities

In each category, published works should be listed first, in chronological order, followed by works not yet published but accepted for publication. Pieces in preparation that are not completed and not reviewed should not appear on a c.v. (The one exception is working papers, customary in certain fields such as economics and mathematics. These should be listed in section 2 l. Other.) The candidate should distinguish between authored and edited works and between refereed and non-referred outlets, should clarify the status of work accepted but not yet published, and should identify his or her contribution to multi-authored works. Please list all authors, in the order they appear on the publication. Because disciplines differ in the way senior authorship is listed, please indicate the works on which the candidate is the senior author. When the research is published in a foreign language, the translation of the title should be included.
